The AHA just announced the specifics for entering the AHA National Homebrew Competition. All entries are due between April 9 and April 18, 2003. All homebrewers are invited to enter! Entries for Beer and mead for the Midwest region go to: Bacchus and Barleycorn 6633 Nieman Road Shawnee, KS 66203 Entries for CIDER ONLY go to: Party Creations 345 Rokeby Road Red Hook, NY 12571 DO NOT SEND BEER OR MEAD ENTRIES TO RED HOOK! I believe Jonathan Crist is organizing a packaging party to send entries so that we can send them en masse as a club. More info will be coming from Jonathan on that. JUDGING for the Midwest Region is May 2-3 - Same date as the Upper Mississippi Mash-Out :-( It will be held in Basehor, Kansas - see the website for more info.
