General Homebrew Discussion / When to drink my AHA Beer

« on: July 20, 2011, 05:37:40 am »

Holding on to the Double Black IPA from Stone, as its the only beer UPS didn't "lose" on the way back from San Diego.  Mainly because I carried it myself.  I was wondering how long I should hold off...

waiting for the 'drink it fresh' folks to chime in.

General Homebrew Discussion / The NHC for the future

« on: May 06, 2011, 06:53:43 am »

I think the days of entering 75-100 entries all over the country to "beat judging inconsistencies and flaws" is nearly over.  How about a new thread on how to take the Comp forward and make it better/fair for the future?

1. two bottles per entry. gets rid of the problem of bottle age waiting for later reevaluation.

2. limit of ten entries per brewer (Primary or Assistant).  stops brewers from flooding the system to 'get through' and allows more brewers to enter... imagine that! Puts the onus on the judges for fair, consistent, and competent judging.

3. Can only enter one region. points 2 and 3 would require the use of a national entry database, which we are close to now.

Others?

$600 = 1 t-shirt?

really? 

How about a pin or something unique that we can proudly display?  Not a t-shirt, like the ones you give away free to volunteers at a rally...
