Puget Sound Pro-Am
The entry window for the Puget Sound Pro-Am is open. Here's the latest from Mark Emiley of WAHA:
Washington Homebrewers! (Club Reps Please Disseminate)
Time to bring your best to the Puget Sound Pro-Am! The entry window for the Puget Sound Pro-Am just opened and will remain open until April 20th (three 10-12 oz bottles, $6/online entry). This gives you plenty of time to get your entries into the many drop locations (Diamond Knot Brewery, Bob’s Homebrew Supply, Cellar Homebrew Supply, Fish Brewery, Olympic Brewing Supply, Snipes Mountain Brewery, and the Beer Essentials) and of course mail or drop your entries down at Larry’s Brewing Supply. Start sending in your entries (entries can be registered in advance through a link on the competition website at http://www.bewbc.org/pro-am)! PLEASE MAKE SURE TO USE THE SPECIAL RECIPE ENTRY FORM AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE (or submit with one of the other forms discussed on the website)!
For those new to the competition, the Puget Sound Pro-Am is an AHA/BJCP sanctioned competition aimed at providing award winning homebrew recipes to be brewed by Puget Sound breweries with the goal of capturing a medal from the Great American Beer Festival’s Pro-Am Competition. As many as THIRTEEN breweries will be selecting their favorite homebrew beers from the best of show round to scale up and brew on their systems. Winning beers of AHA members may be sent on to the GABF for a shot at national glory! Non-AHA members can still enter the competition and win other awards and prizes and the breweries not submitting to the GABF will not be constrained to picking an AHA member!
WE NEED JUDGES AND HELP!
Judging will be held on April 24th at Larry’s Brewing Supply in Kent, Washington. If you are interested in judging, stewarding, or helping with event execution, contact Mark Emiley at markemiley@earthlink.net or please register online at the website. We’ll have some calibration brews, raffle swag, and we need your recommendations for the brewers!
To have the best shot of having your beer brewed, you need to be an AHA member by the time of the competition, so join today! If you had a beer that didn’t make it to the second round of the NHC, send them on in for a second opinion and a chance for an awesome opportunity! Don’t forget, all proceeds from the event go to support the WAHA so you are helping yourself by entering! Invite your friends to join the AHA and submit beers as well (all beers will be judged and ranked regardless of AHA membership). Good luck!
Cheers,
Mark Emiley
