September CoC Deadline

We have a busy week for competitions coming up! The drop off deadline for the September club only competition is this Friday 9/15 at Dallas Homebrew and Homebrew Headquarters. This month's COC includes Fruit, Wild, and Sour beers from categories 23, 28, & 29. I will also be collecting entries after the club meeting at the Lake Saucer tomorrow. Please do not bring your entries into the Saucer as this is a violation of TABC rules.

We already have 10 entries logged into the competition and I anticipate picking more up today so we will likely need 4 judges next week. If you are interested in judging, please send an email to firstVP@nthba.org.

Busy Week for Competitions!

2017 Club Only Competition Schedule

This year's officers are in the process of setting the 2017 Club-Only Competition schedule. Since a new set of style guidelines was introduced in 2015, we would like your input on the styles you would like to see in next year's COC. The 2015 guidelines include some new categories and revisions to the favorites! Have you heard of a Piwo Grodziskie or Lichtenhainer? These are just 2 of the categories in the Historical Beer category (#27) along with Gose, Pre-Prohibition Lager, and Roggenbier to name a few of the more familiar styles.
