Subject: Spirit of Belgium Homebrew Contest
This is an advance notice to let you know that Brewers United for Real
Potables (BURP) is planning a Spririt of Belgium homebrew contest for
Saturday, November 12. This will be the first national contest ever
devoted exclusively to Belgian-style homebrew.
In holding this contest BURP hopes to encourage a greater understanding
and appreciation of Belgian beer styles, and to encourage
experimentation and the pursuit of excellence in Belgian-style homebrewing.
Further details will be forthcoming in the near future, including
contest details, entry materials, and information for brewers on
styles, recipe formulation, and availability of ingredients and yeasts.
Since certain Belgian styles take substantial time to mature (lambics
especially) this announcement is being made now to encourage you to
plan ahead!
BURP represents over 300 brewers in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
------------------------------
on toward the training of a cadre of
very knowledgeable Belgian beer judges.
The downside: I need five bottles of each beer to do this.
I am looking for sample homebrews in each of the categories below. I
only ask that you feel your brew is sufficiently in style and of
adequate quality to submit to a contest:
White beer
Lambic (with or without or fruit)
Belgian ale
Belgian strong ale
Oud bruin/Flanders brown (with or without fruit)
Triple
Trappist clone (preferably Chimay or Orval)
I already have a donor for Doubles, and can contribute some of my own
or friend's beers to fill in some of these categories. However, I
wanted to open this to LD subscribers in case any of you were
interested. If you'd like to help out, please let me know via private
E-mail.
Phil
P.S. I am planning on working up a series of handouts for the class
that I can post to LD or otherwise distribute if desired.
