NHC Judging Invitation
I was invited once again to judge in the first round of the National Homebrew Competition presented by the American Homebrewers Association.
I received an email today informing me that the Northeast region will be judged in Philly at Yard’s brewery this year. He is a section of the email:
The Northeast Regional judging for the 1st Round of the National Homebrew Competition will be held the weekend of April 25-27 at the Yards Brewery (www.yardsbrewing.com) in Philadelphia.
For those of you have judged this competition before expect the same great time with excellent judges and friends from the region. Perhaps the new location to be a big improvement over last year. For those of you who haven’t this is a great opportunity to judge in the largest home brew competition in the world. We expect to be judging on Saturday and Sunday, although the number of flights and time needed to judge will depend on the number of entries we receive and the number of judges who commit to judging. We may do some judging on Friday night for anyone who is available. While the details haven’t been fully worked out expect to start judging on Saturday AM at 9am, on Sunday at 12:00 and if we judge on Friday night it will be about 7:30pm.
So reserve the weekend of April 25-27 and plan to judge in Philadelphia. Let me know that you can judge. If you know someone who’d like to steward, let me know as well; we can use several.
The deadlines for entries this year are March 31st to April 11th. Our regional mail-in spot is Home Sweet Homebrew in Philly. The prices have gone up too, $9 for AHA members and $14 for non-members (ouch!).
