Hark fellow homebrewers!
The 2011 Byggvir's Big Beer Cup online registration is now open and ready for a massive influx of entries! Registration is from August 20 to September 12th atwww.rennfestbeercup.com.
This is a limited category competition, so check the accepted categories on the website. There is a special category for Historic beers--try to include as much info about your beer and what makes it special in the notes section of your entry.
Drop off sites are at Northern Brewer (St. Paul, MN,) Midwest Homebrew Supplies (St. Louis Park, MN,) and StillH20 (Stillwater, MN.) Please include your printed registration form with entries. This competiton requires 2 brown unlabeled bottles of 12-16 oz. Print out labels with your entries online and affix with a rubber band to each bottle. Payment online via Paypal is recommended.
We also need help with judging and stewarding! If you can help out, please fill out the volunteer section on the website. We will be judging Saturday Sept 24 and Sunday Sept 25 at the MN Renaissance Festival grounds. Volunteering ahead of time will get you free entry to the Festival and a sweet shirt. You may come in costume if you have one, otherwise you need to wear your (Free!) shirt during judging. There will be some beers on tap, but lunch is not provided (get yourself a turkey leg!) There are several great prizes for entrants and for volunteers.
This year Jack Of All Brews and the Minnesota Homebrewer's Association are bringing the fun. Get registered and we'll see you at the Festival! Friend us on Facebook too.
