Bluebonnet Brew-off Information
Hopefully, you have already registered your beers with the Bluebonnet as tables are filling fast.
If you are planning on attending the event, buy your tickets soon. Prices go after this week. VIP tickets are still available, but they will go fast. The pub crawl busses are also filling. Don’t Wait! https://bluebonnetbrewoff.org/
If you plan on volunteering to pour at either the Big Thirsty or at the Homebrew Showcase, you will need to have a TABC Sellers/Servers license. If you need to get a license, they take about two hours and there are several on-line training companies. Prices are generally around $8-$10. This link is to the TABC’s list of on-line training providers, shop around for the best deal: https://www.tabc.texas.gov/services/tabc-certification/tabc-certification-schools/ The Bluebonnet will reimburse your tuition.

Judges needed for January COC
We have 6 six entries this month looking for Judges, reminder that no experience is needed to be a judge.
Judging other fellow brewer’s beer is a great way to learn how to evaluate the beer you brew.
Please contact me on your availability, at mailto:[email protected]

Informal Swap Meet at Saturday Brewday
There will be an informal swap meet at the Brewday this Saturday. If you have stuff you want to buy, sell, trade or giveaway, bring it to the Brewday. I know there will be some ball-lock kegs for sale. My suggestion to the traders is, do your trading around 11am.
