This year, we are partnering with Cinder Block Brewing to ramp up one lucky brewer’s recipe. We are also capping the competition at 600 entries this year.
What does this mean to you? Well, we are a stop on the Midwest Homebrewer of the Year circuit, the High Plains circuit and the newly formed KC Homebrewer of the Year circuit. Also, we are filling up quickly. How quickly? The entry window opened up 5 hours ago and we are 20% full.
So if you need to get in on these circuits, want a chance to have your beer brewed on a 15 BBL commercial scale or just want these really cool BOS prizes (hopefully below), then you should get in on this soon. Enter here: http://www.kcbiermeisters.org/comp
Want to volunteer? We love taking care of our volunteers. Sub sandwiches and donuts? Not here. Smoked brisket, breakfast casserole and Waldo pizza just for taking time out of your life to help us pull this off.
Just entered 2 entries and paid using Paypal, but they didn’t get marked paid. I did return to the registration page after paying (and got my paypal confirmation and credit card authorized ).
If anyone is having trouble with the comp website not remembering your password, please use Firefox or Chrome. IE does not seem to play well with the latest version of the database.
Kevin, if you don’t get first with any of your beers, I’ll be hunting them down and taking them home with me. ;D I still remember your Pale Ale from last year.
Ok - now I am going to be suspicious if I get a bunch of second places
7th snow day this month here tomorrow… so, a good day to get bottles filled and ready to send out. You guys did a great job with the comp. last year - looking forward to it.
According to UPS, my entries are in Kansas but delayed by “adverse weather conditions.”
Hope they get there by Friday. If Ol’ Man Winter craps all over my first competition entry I’ll be the crazy guy in the street shaking my fist at the sky.
With the release of Boulevard’s Chocolate Ale today, our President, Steve Cook has cooked up a plan to honor an local airman, Ryan, who is on his way back from Afghanistan in the coming days. Ryan asked his wife for one thing for Valentine’s Day: a single bottle of Chocolate Ale. (In case you aren’t from here - it’s pure craziness to find just one bottle.)
In response, the Kansas City Bier Meisters are out scouring the city to try and get this man a full case of Chocolate Ale. Steve has bought him and his wife tickets to our Spiegelau tasting and our beer pairing banquet. We will have a special reception for him at our banquet.
We are also holding a virtual food drive for the area’s only food bank, Harvester’s. We have set it up as a state rivarly - Missouri vs Kansas. If you want more info about that, visit http://mashingformeals.harvesters.org
I just wanted to take the time to brag on my homebrew club. I am so proud to be a part of a group that not only brews great beer, but can pull together in a moments notice to do literally anything, especially something as cool as this. It is simply amazing what the homebrew community can do.
