2006 Sasquatch Homebrewing Competition

From the TastyBrew website:


NOW ACCEPTING ENTRIES FOR 2006 SASQUATCH HOMEBREWING COMPETITION

Together with the Cascade Brewers Society, the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation is pleased to announce the inaugural Sasquatch Homebrewing Competition. The competition is sanctioned by the American Homebrewers Association and the Beer Judge Certification Program.

Judging will take place in the days preceding the Sasquatch Brew Fest on June 3, 2006 in Eugene, Oregon. Prizes will be awarded at the Sasquatch Brew Fest to the top three finishers in the following BJCP style categories:

* English Pale Ale: Best Bitter, ESB

* American Ale: American Pale Ale, American Amber

* IPA: American IPA, Imperial IPA

* Strong Ale: Old Ale, American Barleywine

We are excited to offer a truly incredible “best of show” prize as well. The winner will have the opportunity to brew his/her recipe at a professional brewery!

For style guidelines, visit the BJCP website at http://www.bjcp.org/stylecenter.html. The competition is open to homebrewers in Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. For entry instructions and additional information, visit the www.sasquatchbrewfest.org/homebrew and download the PDF file. Please note that the website is currently being updated. The homebrew page and entry form will be on the website in early April.

While sponsored by the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation, the Sasquatch Homebrewing Competition is made possible through the generosity and hard work of the Cascade Brewers Society who is organizing and producing the event. The Bier Stein Bottleshop and Pub in Eugene has graciously offered to cellar your entries. Rogue Ales Eugene City Brewery is hosting the judging venue.

Like many professional brewers, Glen started as a homebrewer. In Eugene, he was a dedicated member of the Cascade Brewers Society. Glen always remained close to his roots as an avid supporter of homebrewers by sharing ideas, recipes, and techniques. The Sasquatch Homebrewing Competition is a tribute to the huge impact that the homebrewing community had on Glen’s life and continues to have on the craft brewing movement.

The Glen Hay Falconer Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the craft brewing industry by providing professional and homebrewers opportunities to further their knowledge and expertise. The Foundation sponsors a number of events to help underwrite its brewing education program and donations to local charities. For more information on the Foundation, visit www.sasquatchbrewfest.org.

Many thanks to Dan Schultz and the brewcrew listserv for bringing this to my attention.
