Tough category upon which to cut one's judging teeth, but I will volunteer to help.

Let me know if you need my help.

All,

It is that time again, COC/BR Competition and I am needing Judges.

This month's AHA style is “Belgian Strong Ale". Because of the category, I am expecting a large turn-out of 12 or more entries.

I know it is short notice, but I would like to try to judge during the Brew Day 11/14 @ Steve Jones' home (2961 Las Campanas Farmers Branch TX 75234).

I will be at the brewday around 12pm and will start recruiting volunteers (no kicking), around 12:30, starting judging after that.

If you do plan to be at the brewday and can help w/ judging please contact me.

If I can not get the required judges at the event, I will try to reschedule for the following week/weekend. Judging must be complete by 11/23 to ship to AHA COC.
