NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3500
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: Call for judges - 2011 Dixie Cup Homebrew Competition

Greetings Homebrewers!

 

I am writing to let you know that the Houston Foam Rangers would like to ask
for your help with judging homebrew for the 2011 Dixie Cup.  

 

The Dixie Cup is one of the nation's oldest homebrewing competitions and is
noted for its great mix of irreverent fun as well as its seriousness about
beer.  Although we have as much fun as possible at the Dixie Cup, the
competition remains the most important aspect of the event and we take the
judging very seriously.  We would like to ask for your help in completing
this serious task.

 

The Dixie Cup is one of the final Qualifying Events for The Masters
Championship of Amateur Brewing and is the final competition in the series
that determines the Lone Star Circuit Homebrewer of the Year, the Lone Star
Circuit Homebrew Team of the Year, and the Lone Star Circuit Homebrew Club
of the Year.

 

Our judging schedule is listed below.  We have several great opportunities
for you to judge and earn BJCP experience points.  Depending on the number
of entries we receive, not all of the sessions may be needed, so please keep
an eye out for any update emails From October 9th to the 18th.  

 

Please feel free to pass this email along to anyone who feel might
interested in judging or stewarding during the Dixie Cup.  All interest and
skill levels are welcome!

 

 

For more information on the 2011 Dixie Cup, visit our web site -
http://dixiecup.crunchyfrog.net/

 

If you have any questions please contact the Head Judge, Sean Lamb (that's
me!) via email sean at headfullofideas.net.

 

The Foam Rangers look forward to seeing you at this year's Dixie Cup!

 

I will be re-sending this message in a few weeks as a reminder.


Cheers,


Sean Lamb
