NTHBA will have our 12 tap kegerator on site to serve homebrew from our members. Our goal is to have as many of our taps filled with high quality beers as possible. Your contribution does not need to be a full keg, partial or smaller (2.5 or 1.75 gallon) kegs are fine. Our kegerator is setup for ball lock kegs. Please indicate in the signup list what style keg you are bringing so we can accommodate if you have a keg that is not ball lock.
Thanks for all those that are contributing. If you have any questions, please contact me, Terry Olinger, at 214-310-2494.
Reminder, the March Club Only Competition (COC) registration closes at 5pm tomorrow, March 14th and your entries of 2 bottles need to be turned in at the club meeting at Four Bullets Brewery Tuesday evening. If you can’t make the meeting, please reach out to me and we can make other arrangements.
You can register your entry and print off labels at coc.nthba.org
Full Brewer Royale / COC rules can be found at nthba.org/brewer-royale
And for anyone who did not enter, please consider being a judge, no experience needed, and best of all you get to drink free beer (you can register on the COC site)

Here is a message from Marqus about the Bluebonnet.
We are in desperate need of volunteers for this year’s Bluebonnet. We need help with the Big Thirsty and the registration desk. If you are willing to pour beers, you need to have your TABC certification. (It takes about 2 hours and costs less than $10.) If you are willing to help with either the Big Thirsty or Registration, please contact Marqus at: [email protected]. Marqus has a spread sheet that can show you what is needed.
Thanks and I’ll see y’all next week
