Limbo Challenge!

It is time to start planning for the 2024 Limbo Challenge. While we just finished with all of the Bluebonnet judging, it takes time to plan and prepare to ensure the Limbo competition runs smoothly. We will begin preliminary planning at our March officer meeting on 3/3. The contest dates have been set, the next thing is to review the categories to determine if any changes are wanted, and review other contest other parameters so we can update our website with the 2024 contest information. We want to complete this far enough ahead of entry dates so brewers can plan their brew days .

If you are interested in assisting with Limbo planning, please send an email to: [email protected].

Besides all NTHBA members that attended the party, Chris Daily from San Antonio Cerveceros club was also present and ended up receiving his two third place medals live. Congratulations to the NTHBA brewers Terry Olinger, Reed Smollar, Mark Rendon for your winning medals.

Thanks for all NTHBA members that entered the competition and those that volunteered for judging, we could not have done without you.
