1st Annual Home Brew Competition 1:00 - 3:00 PM Winners Announced @ 3:00 PM Each year Saline celebrates our sister-city heritage with Lindenberg, Germany, and not coincidentally, this occurs during the Oktoberfest celebration time. Every year, something is missing – beer! Famously celebrated by Germany during this time of year, we are setting to fix that! Well, maybe not for the masses but if you brew your own beer, then you are encouraged to participate in the 1st Annual Home Brew Competition. OK, while it doesn’t quite get beer to lips to the masses, you will be able to enter for pride & fame. And best of all, Entries are Free! Beers must be delivered to Chris Frey at 275 South Ann Arbor Street, Saline, Michigan by Sunday, September 20th. One bottle (at least 12 ounces), with a label rubber-banded around the bottle must be delivered to Chris Frey at 275 South Ann Arbor Street, Saline. Chris is the Chairman of the Governing Committee for the American Homebrewers Association and an enthusiastic local homebrewer. He can be reached at crispy275@comcast.net, or at home 944-0469. Copies of a bottle label can be found at http://www.bjcp.org/compcenter.html - or just make up your own - information should include: Name of Brewer and Brew Address and email Phone number Name and style of beer Any homebrew club you might be associated with. Judging will be done by local luminaries from Saline. This competition is a People’s Favorite, and the top three will be awarded ribbons and receive event mugs.
