Hi Everybody,
THIS IS A CALL FOR JUDGES, !!

Were gearing up for the 2012 Homebrew at the W.E.B. Homebrew Competition, and once again were going to be in need of lots of judges and stewards, as well as entries.
In less than five years this competition has grown from a 200 entry competition to one of the largest and most respected Beer Competitions in the country. Last year nearly 900 beers were judged by some of the best judges around, and this year we expect to break the 1000 mark. Thats why we need you!!
This years Homebrew at the W.E.B. (World Expo of Beers) competition judging will be held the weekend of March 2-4th 2012 at Sullivans Black Forest Brewhaus in Frankenmuth Michigan . Were looking at two flights Friday (2:00-4:00p.m. and 5:00-7:00p.m.) Two Flights Saturday (9:00a.m.-12:00p.m. and 1:00-4:00p.m.) and a morning flight Sunday followed by the award ceremony Sunday afternoon.
Were very proud to announce that the special guest speaker/judge this year will be John Palmer (How to Brew, Brewing Classic Styles, Brewing Network)
coming all the way from California!. John will be doing a presentation Saturday evening as well as judging your beer.

As always we will provide hot meals for judges and prizes to be given away throughout the weekend.

Stipends will be available on special circumstances to judges traveling long distances to spend the weekend with us.

So who among us is entering?

Mills

I'm in for at least 4 entries.

Is the BN going to be out in full force for the WEB? If you haven't signed up to help judge or steward, they really need the help. John Palmer will be in attendance and speaking. Gordon Strong will also be there judging. To sign up, go: http://www.beerstofear.com/comphost/index.php?task

Again, even if you haven't judged, sign up to steward. This is a big one and they really need us to come out in full force.

Hey all, if you are pitching in on the competition this weekend, wear your BN gear and say hey if you see me. They have 1034 entries this year, and as always, they are very prepared. Most flights will be at or under 10 entries, so that right there tells you that a lot of people helping out. I look forward to hanging out the the Cass River crew as they pull off another great competition! Also, Palmer, if you are reading this, I will try not to be too creepy as I leer in your general direction.
