WELCOME TO THE 2ND ANNUAL CRAFT BEER LB HOMEBREW INVITATIONAL.
You are more than just a consumer of beer. Today, you are also an arbiter of delicious.
The two reddish/orange rubber bottlecaps in your glass are yours to dispense. Each represents one vote toward the people’s choice award. There are 45 homebrewers to choose from. If you are torn between determining which one is your favorite, then cast your votes two ways. PLEASE DO VOTE! You’ll have a chance to get the bottle caps back after voting is complete.
There will be three finalists for today’s award. So be equitable, forthright, and just.
Below is a key to help you navigate your palette wrecking experience. Plan accordingly. Try sampling as many homebrews as possible before settling on a winner(s). The voting will end promptly at 4 for the purposes of tallying and announcing the winner in a timely fashion. Reminders of your obligations will occur throughout the event to keep you on track.
In addition to the people’s choice award, judge’s are working behind the scenes to determine on the basis of style guidelines, which beer is the best. An awards’ ceremony for both will occur just prior to the events conclusion so plan on sticking around and enjoying the festivities with us till the end.
Thank you so much for your support of our friends, family, and community. Today we celebrate those who slave away diligently over boil kettles and mash tuns to bring you brown bottles full of neighborly love.
And a special thanks to our sponsors: Stein Fillers Homebrew Supply Store for their generously assisting and overseeing today’s judging competition. Also, to Ten Mile Brewing for their generous award of a Pro-Am collaboration Brew for today’s Judge’s Choice award winner.
Cheers!
