Hi Foamers — Today is the day: Cinco de Mitcho!! If you haven’t logged in your beer entries with me yet, please do so ASAP!
As a recap, here are the entry procedures:
1. Please email me (jmitchell795@comcast.net) if you are entering a beer in either of the two categories (Spirit of Mexico styles or Mexican-themed Pepper Beer styles).
— If you are entering a “pepper” beer: please let me know your “creative name”, the base beer, the type of pepper(s), and whether it is mild, medium or hot!!
— If you are entering a “Spirit of Mexico” beer: let me know your “creative name”, the beer style (light lager, amber/Vienna, or dark) and any special additives
2. Please bring 2 bombers or 3-4 12-oz. bottles of each entry so we have enough beer for all to sample. Place in refrigerator to keep chilled
3. Label each bottle (do not include your personal name):
— If you are entering a “pepper” beer: include your “creative name”, the base beer, the type of pepper(s), and whether it is mild, medium or hot!!
— If you are entering a “Spirit of Mexico” beer: include “creative name”, the beer style (light lager, amber/Vienna, or dark) and any special additives
4. The Spirit of Mexico judging will be an informal but serious judging procedure, with a first place and second place ribbon award given
5. The Mexican-themed Pepper beer judging will be more informal, but the winning entry will receive the prestigious Traveling Burrito Award!
6. An award will also be given for the best name of a brew, so be creative
See you all tonight!
