Montrose County Fair Homebrew Competition

There's still time to get brews entered to the Montrose county fair homebrew competition. If you want to enter, e-mail "andrea" who is organizing the competition. I believe Ken is one of the judges, so if you got beer to him by this weekend he could just take them with him. You have to let Andrea know they are being sent with him though. The contest is on Monday night 7/23. It is an AHA sanctioned competition, and conforms to BJCP style guidelines. More details are available at www.blackcanyonbrewers.com

Hamming it up with the Ambassador of Beer at the NHC

Among the many wonderful, strange, exotic, and classic beers that were available at the National Homebrew Conference, we had our moment of fame with the ambassador of beer - Charlie Papazian. From left to right are Wes MacCachran, Tom Schickling, Jeremy West, Charlie Papazian, Michael Thompson, and Jeff Dahl.

Although both Wes and Michael received blue ribbons for their beers during the first round of the National Homebrew Competition - thus getting the privilege to have their beers evaluated at the final round at the NHC - neither of their beers were selected as the top three in their respective categories during the finals. Congratulations to both of them for representing the HAMS so proudly! Wes submitted his Where There's Smoke, There's Porter brew, and Michael presented his European Amber Lager.

Nice article in RMN about Dry Dock
