Näf-Woods Homebrew in competition!

I am proud to announce that Näf-Woods Homebrew has entered its first beer competition. The Bloatarian Brewing League, a local group, has sponsored a homebrew bock competition, which will put some of the areas best homebrewers against each other as trained officials will judge the beers based on BJCP (Beer Judge Certification Program) standards in this BJCP sanctioned event. These are the same standards that are used in competitions all across the country. Judges consider the aroma, appearance, flavor, and mouthfeel. The judges hold to strict guidelines within each type of beer, so it is possible to have an excellent beer, but if it does not fit the strict guidelines it will not receive a high score. The competition will occur this Saturday at the Bockfest Hall at 12:00. I hope you can make it down to support me, and try some of the beers made by local homebrewers. After the competition I hope to get a group together to brew a beer, look for more details in a future post. My doppelbock beer will be officially unveiled at a happy hour on Saturday night, look for details in a future post.
