Competition Deadlines


Not that we need to swell Jon’s head or anything, but our own local boy made the Contra Cost TImes.

 Check it out!

Congrats, Jonny 5-0!

Three DOZE’rs brought home some bling from Orlando this year!  Congratulations to these guys for brewing the best homebrew in the nation in their respective categories!

Jon Plise brings home a gold for his Dark American Lager and a bronze for his American Brown Ale

Scott Thomas contributes a bronze to the list for his American Stout

Mike McDole adds a silver to his bling stash for his Dortmunder Export

Congrats, guys!  Way to go!

Just got an update on NHC entry numbers… at last count DOZE has 29 members submitting 180+ entries for nearly 30% of the total regional entries.

DOZE is definitely set to bring it strong!  Way to go everyone!

Reminder: NHC 1st Round Entries are due Friday 4/14.

Bring 1 bottle for first round, and store 3 for second round incase you place.

Check the BJCP site for the category list

If you are entering, please email Jonathan with the amount you are
entering. This way DOZE can have a tally of total entries entered.

Good Luck, and may the Beer Gods be strong with DOZErs!

Just a reminder about some of the upcoming competitions:

  • National Homebrew Competition 1st round
  • California State Fair
  • 10th Annual Silver Dollar Fair
  • Titletown Open XII
  • Trash XVI
  • 15th Annual Green Mountain Homebrew Competition
  • Maltose Falcons Mayfaire

Be sure and check out the homebrew competition calendar (there’s a link “Foz’s Homebrew Calendar” over there on the right side of the page) for details on upcoming competitions. If you’ve never entered a competition before and are curious, there are some great opportunities coming up. Feel free to ask for help if you need to know how to enter, how to pack, ship your beers, etc.

In addition, the next NHC Club Only Competition is extract-only brews. You have to have 50% or more of your fermentables from extracts. The entry deadline for that is May 12th, so we should probably judge that at the April meeting… all you extract brewers, this is your chance to shine up your kettles, show the all-grainers a thing or two and kick some ass!
