The 2009 Homebrew at the W.E.B. Competition
We will start to accept entries tomorrow (April 6th) through April 24th. Brewers can enter their brews on line at http://www.hbd.org/cassriver.
Make sure to mention you heard about this Competition in a note attached to your bottles, every entry mentioning the BN, Cass River Homebrewers will donate a $1 to the BN.
The World Expo of Beer© is one of Midwest America's premier commercial and craft beer events. Held annually since 1995, more than 40 international breweries, importers and distributors enter over 200 of their premium beers in the competition vying for the prestigious titles of Best of Show and People's Choice. The competition culminates in a two-day extravaganza during which the competitors showcase their products to nearly 10,000 eager participants and the winners take full advantage of their well-earned bragging rights!
The inaugural Homebrew at the W.E.B. Homebrewing Competition was held in 2008 with 223 entries from 78 brewers representing 11 states. The Cass River Homebrewers Club of Mid-Michigan is proud to again organize and conduct the annual competition. This is a Beer Judging Certification Program (BJCP) sanctioned event. The second annual competition will be held in May 2009 with the Best of Show and Organizers' Choice announced at the World Expo of Beer© on May 16, 2009 and we are thrilled to announce that the beer selected as Best of Show will again be brewed by and served on tap at the renowned Sullivan's Black Forest Brew Haus of Frankenmuth, Michigan!
In keeping with the theme of the World Expo of Beer©, Homebrew at the W.E.B is open to homebrewers from anywhere within the United States, Canada or abroad and we are accepting entrees in BJCP categories 1 through 28.
Happy Brewing!!
