All the medal category judging is complete. The BoS will occur tomorrow.
The Awards Ceremony will be on Saturday the 27th at the home of Melinda and Brian Beyer located at 2117 Rheims Dr, Carrollton, TX.
Folks will start gathering about 1pm and the Awards will occur at 2pm. The Beyer’s/NTHBA is providing BBQ. If you attend we ask you to bring a side and some beer. The pool will open after the awards so bring a swimsuit if you want to get into the pool.
The awards and medals are all in hand and ready for Saturday. Scoresheets will be released after the Awards Ceremony.
Our goal is to have all unclaimed awards and medals mailed the week after the ceremony. We will send some email verifying addresses and asking if we can combine shipments to help us minimize shipping costs.

This is a request for judges for the Limbo Challenge judging this weekend. Please come out and support our competition. With a good turnout this weekend, we can probably finish in one weekend.
You need no judging experience. We will pair you with a skilled judge. Judging beer will help you brew better beer by teaching you how to evaluate what you brew.
We will have electronic or paper score sheets. We encourage you to use electronic sheets that require you to bring a wifi laptop or tablet. Wifi will be provided. Paper score sheets are available as well.
Please register yourself as a judge on the BCOEM system located here. You will use this userid to access the scoring system. Also please update your availability in BCOEM. Don’t worry if you don’t register in advance, we can add you when you arrive.
