This is OUR REGION's AHA First Round for the AHA's National Homebrewing Competition. It's been in St.Paul the last few years, and this year Madison is getting a crack at it. Several Madison brewers have been coming over for our version of it in St.Paul, and we should return the favor. Also, Madison is a GREAT beer town, with many great brewpubs. Finally, the Madison Homebrew Tasting Guild is a great bunch of folks! I've gotten to know a few of them at the Great Taste of the Midwest the last few years - the SECOND largest beer event in the nation. All good reasons to make a serious effort to get to Madison to support their effort this year! They will need BJCP and non-BJCP volunteers aplenty. Hope everyone can make it! - Al ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: MadSymo(a)aol.com To: judgenet(a)yahoogroups.com Sent: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 21:31:28 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [JudgeNet] NHC 2010 -- Midwest Regional SAVE THE DATE -- April 17th!
