The Commander Wants You!

To enter your homebrew in the 16th annual Commander SAAZ Interplanetary Homebrew Blastoff. The entry window is now open and slams shut on September 15th. 

All 28 BJCP categories will be judged and winners receive not only intergalactic recognition but the coveted Commander SAAZ Medal and a fabulous prize from one of our generous sponsors. The best of show beer and mead/cider winners will also be awarded the Commander’s Cosmic Trophy and the acclaim of the known brewing universe. In our specialty catgory whoever sends the Commander into orbit with their Rocket Fuel (10% abv and above) will also receive the coveted Rocket trophy that doubles as the coolest tap handle in the solar system!!!

CSIHB is the second to last completion in the Florida circuit. As a qualifier for the Masters Championship of Amateur Brewing first place winners in MCAB categories (see http://hbd.org/mcab for details) will be eligible for the MCAB XIII competition. Additionally this year Commander SAAZ is a qualifying event for the 2011 Mazer Cup International Home Mead Makers Competition (http://www.mazercup.com/index.htm). This means that the gold medal winning meads from Commander SAAZ will be inserted directly into the second round at the MCI! 

So, all you mild mannered homebrewers out there get your kettles boiling and unearth those bottles you’ve got stashed in the back of the fridge!  Engineers, rocket scientists, and other cosmic creatures are ready and waiting to judge your brew.
