Subject: Boston Homebrew Competition - 2nd Call for Judges
The 13th Boston Homebrew Competition is coming up on Saturday, March
1st. It will be held at the law offices of Holland and Knight,
located in the Back Bay region of Boston about 2 blocks from the
Public Garden. This year there are a total of 238 entries (the entry
window is now closed). We are still looking for experienced judges to
help with this years competition.
If you are able to help with judging, please fill out the judge
registration form at http://bhc.wort.org/judgereg.shtml. Further
details about the judging are located at http://bhc.wort.org/judgeinfo.shtml
. Note that the competition site is easily accessible by the T and
Commuter Rail and on site parking is available (the competition will
cover the cost for people who register to help out in advance).
Important Note: As the competition will be held in a secure building,
pre-registering to judge or steward before the competition is
required. We need to give building security a list of people helping
in advance of the competition.
If you have already signed up to help out, thanks a lot. I'll be
contacting you soon with the final details. If any of you have any
questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

Here in Las Vegas, that's the name of Big Dog's pumpkin ale (the names of most
of their beers follow a canine theme). I recommend it if you're in town when
it's on tap...usually during October and November, IIRC.
