WE HAVE A DAY SET, AND THE HOLIDAY PARTY IS NEAR!
 
Saturday, January 17th, 2009 at Ned Kelly’s, please join all of the Green Bay Rackers as we celebrate the Holidays that have gone with beer, food, and friends.  Remember this isn’t just for the members, but everyone’s other half (in most cases, better half) if you have one.  We will be joining together downtown at 1:00 pm on Saturday to enjoy everyone’s company and to see who is going to be that guy (or girl).  Now you know that this isn’t all fun and games, and there are some things we need your help with before we have this thing we call fun at Ned Kelly’s so here is the list:
 
Price: Bring $5 to cover some costs…this club isn’t rich you know.
 
Food:  Well, you know the club will pick up subs and have some drink tickets for you, but you need to bring a dish to pass (homebrew doesn’t count because you have to bring that anyway) because I don’t think subs will fill us up.  However if you are not a cooking type, think about bring paper plates, or plastic ware for us hogs.  And when you figure out what you are bringing, let Ryan (his info will be supplied later) know so he can praise and thank you…maybe.
 
Donations:  Everyone loves to get gifts, so please consider bringing a donation for raffle.  Ryan (later still on the info for this guy) would love it if you would let him know what you are bringing prior to the party, so just shoot him an email.
 
Place, Date, & Time:  I already said it but here it is again, Saturday, January 17th, 2009 at 1 pm at Ned Kelly’s.
 
RSVP: This is where you get that Ryan guy’s info.  Email him at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it right away on how many are coming, what you are bringing for food and what donation you may have to offer.
 
There you go folks.  I hope everyone can make it, because it would be horrible if no one was there.

I hope everyone can make it, even if for only a little while.

8th Annual Upper Mississippi Mash-Out PDF Print E-mail

Wednesday, 10 December 2008 20:52

Mashout-logoOver the last eight years the Upper Mississippi Mash-out has grown to be one of the top homebrew contests in the country.  Thanks to our generous sponsors over the years Mash-out has been able to provide a fabulous prize to every winner in each category along with a hand-made wooden chalice for the best-in-show winners for beer, mead, and cider.  This is an AHA/BJCP-sanctioned contest and is organized jointly by the St. Paul Home Brewers Club and the Minnesota Home Brewer’s Association.

 

The Mash-Out is the opening event in the High Plains Brewer of the Year Award 2009, the Midwest Brewer of the Year Award 2009 and the MCAB 2010.

More information available at  http://www.mashout.org/

Key Dates:

Dec 29 2008-Jan. 10 2009, entries accepted

Jan. 23-24, judging at the Klub Haus in St. Paul

Jan. 24, Awards ceremony and German themed beer banquet

Volunteer

Every year we welcome judges and volunteers from all over the country.  We pamper them with a local in-door “Pub Crawl,” a Brewers Forum, commemorative pint glasses and the opportunity to pre-order growlers from Minnesota brewpubs. The brewers forum this year will feature Kirby Nelson of Capital Brewing in Madison WI.   He will talk about brewing German style beers and bring some of his wares to sample.  All skill levels are encouraged to volunteer.  This is an excellent opportunity to experience how an AHA/BJCP sanctioned competition works.  Sign up to volunteer at http://www.mashout.org/.

German Banquet

On Saturday January 24th before the awards ceremony, Chef Manfred Krug will prepare a German themed beer banquet this year. The cost is $30 and includes numerous donated tap beers from the St Paul Home Brewers Club and the Minnesota Home Brewers Association. The complete menu will be posted in the near future.

Special Categories

Back by popular demand: the Eis-Anything category. Put the cold weather to practical use by doing ice versions of your beer, mead or cider creations. Multiple entries allowed. Back again this year are the TWO New Entrant categories – 1060+ and 1060- gravities. If you haven’t entered a beer contest before, this one is for you.


Please pass this message along to your members

Thanks!
