What ails your ales?
The second annual Homebrew Fair is taking place in Seattle on March 25.
The Homebrew Fair brings together all of the local clubs, vendors, and judges
for socializing, lectures, and competition.
The competition is run to the BJCP style guidelines, but is unique,in that,
after the 2-person team of evaluators score the beer, they discuss it one-on-one
with the brewer. This rich feedback forum helps both the brewers and the judges improve their skills.
Last year, it was the largest one-day competition in the state and was
sucessful beyond our wildest dreams, mostly due to the number of people
that showed up to help us evaluate beers. We need judges and experienced brewers! Even if
you are just thinking about taking the test, this is a great opportunity, as we
pair inexperienced judges with "mentors" and the feedback from the brewers is like
real-time test experience. It's also much more rewarding to actually meet
the person and get their appreciation face-to-face.
We would sincerely appreciate anybody who would like to come evaluate,
lecture, or just hob-nob. This year Brouwer's Cafe is hosting the post-event party where we can continue to enjoy and discuss our passion for things fermentable. And really, that's what it is all about - the passion.
Please visit the site www.homebrewfair.com for sign-up and more
information.
(Please pre-register so we can order the correct amounts of swag for the
evaluators, we are making a concerted effort this year to reward your
efforts.)
Remember, we only have the venue for a few hours, so we really need the
evaluators to show up on time (12:15). We will not be wasting your time, you will show up and judging will start almost immediately. This worked really well last year and I can't thank people enough for their timeliness.
