To the Minnesota Home Brewers Association-
SIGN UP NOW! Nat'l Homebrew Comp. Judging Apr 29-30
The first round judging of the AHA National Homebrew Competition
for the Midwest region will be held in St.Paul April 29-30, 2005.
We expect between 500-700 entries. We will need about 50 judges,
18 stewards and numerous other volunteers at each of four judging
sessions to complete the judging in two days.
This is the FIRST TIME that the Twin Cities has had the honor of
hosting the First Round of the National competition. We will be
receiving entries from Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Wiscosin.
Dinner on Friday night and breakfast and lunch on Saturday will
be provided for judges, stewards and volunteers. The awards
banquet on Saturday night will cost around $10. (We will collect
at the event for anyone interested.)
We need to confirm that we have sufficient judges as soon as
possible to facilitate planning.

It is very cool that we get to host the first round of AHA Nationals.
Do you have a beer you want to enter, but as a newer brewer not sure what
category to enter it as? (Would it be better entered as a robust porter or
a brown porter?) Want some feedback before you spend $8/$12 an entry?
Please come to my house for a beer critique/suggestion session before you
drop your entries off in April.
When: Thursday, March 31st at 7 pm
Where: Gera Exire LaTour's House
3757 Dupont Avenue N., Minneapolis
(612) 381-2104
(Take 94W to the Dowling exit. Take a left on Dowling and go 6 block to
Dupont Ave and take a left. My white with turquoise trim house is on the
corner on the right side of the street. Be careful on the stairs.)
Please bring a bottle or two of the beer(s) you would like input on and a
copy of the BJCP guidelines, if you have one. See you there.

New subject: Beer Critique
I would like to challenge ALL brewers in the MhBA to enter at least ONE beer
in the AHA Nationals this year! Why? Top 10:
1) You might WIN!
2) The scoresheet may have comments to help you become a better brewer.
3) If you've never entered AHA Nationals before, you could enter in the
"NEW BREWER" Category.
4) No shipping! Just drive over to Northern Brewer and drop it off.
5) Support your club! Winning entries will help make MhBA CLUB OF THE
YEAR! (We're in FIRST right now!!)
6) Support your State! Let's show 'em how many good brewers are in
Minnesota!
7) Support your region! Let's make our region the one with the most
entries in the AHA!
8) It's a beer event! Do you need any other excuses?
9) Since you've entered, you may as well judge or steward on 4/29-30. It's
FUN!
10) THE CONTEST IS RIGHT HERE IN ST.PAUL! Let's show 'em TC brewclubs know
how to throw a Party!
And sure, the RECIPE said it was an American Pale Ale, but maybe it would
WIN as an IPA. Come to Gera's house (with your beers) and we'll pass them
around and discuss which category would be the best in which to enter them.
See you next Thursday!
