Hope a few brewnosers get the call

Hi Keith,
Thanks so much for submitting an entry to the 2015 Garrison Home Brew-Off. This year was a record year with 84 entries! Judging is well on its way and we should know the final 4 very soon. In the meantime I wanted to reach out to you to confirm you will be attending the gala.

As part of your entry fee this year you get one commentary entry to the gala on March 5th doors open at 7pm and the awards ceremony starts at 7:30pm. As you can guess with the number of entries and judges if everyone comes to the gala that will put our room at capacity!

We have started a waiting list for members of the public who wish to purchase a ticket and attend. If you plan on attending the gala please RSVP via email by Monday March 2, 2015 this way we can allow people on the waiting list to purchase a ticket if numbers allow.

We hope to see you there Keith it will be a great night!
Cheers,

Justin Zinck

I'm just interested to get my written feedback. I don't think I made 2nd round, but time will tell.

I want the feedback as well...and to stop nursing the keg of awesome aka LocoNut Robust Porter

Yea I want to stop nursing it too. We killed 1.5 kegs in a month of the stuff. Stuff is a hit. But I think my carbonation is off

both of my entries are taking a hit...even the non-craft guys are asking for it..over the lighter Dos...

Did you go big and bold on it? Mine was fairly tame, highly drinkable.

not really...I tried to stay in style...I wanted to go a bit bigger with a flavor, but held back..

Oh well...I put 2 entries in...should be interesting to hear back about them both

I think / thought there was a limit of one. I had two but chose one of them to send in. I've been trying to drink only the one I didn't send for the time being.

jacinthebox · Post by **jacinthebox** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 4:06 pm

I couldn't find anything that said one entry so I sent two

Post by **RubberToe** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 4:23 pm

Yeah I didn't see anything in writing, just someone asked and was told. Maybe they'd just prefer we send one but I wish they'd make it clearer.

Well done! I couldn't find anything either that says one only. Last year I was told by NG I could send in 2 entries, but I only sent one. I think you are good.

I called Garrison and spoke with Justin, he said it was limited to 1. Probably came from me, and yea I wish they'd make it clearer.

Just confirmed via email I'm going. Look forward to seeing everyone there.

yeah...I couldnt see anything on their communications that suggested a limit so I dropped off 2 at noble. My buddy jason also put 2 in...so brathairs put 6 entries in total

I still think you are OK. They'll probably put forward the best one. There's nothing in the rules that says you can't enter more than one, and in past years I think you could. I did find something important in the rules though ...rule #4 - Keep it fun, it's only beer!

I'm hoping to go to this year.

If you entered, you are definitely entitled to go. So either it is in your spam folder, or they have an incorrect address. It wouldn't hurt to email Justin to check.

Post by **RubberToe** » Wed Feb 25, 2015 5:53 pm

Me either, and nothing in spam. Maybe he hasn't gotten them all out yet either.

Keith · Post by **Keith** » Wed Feb 25, 2015 10:10 pm

I'm not sure, but to send out 84 emails shouldn't take that long. Considering I think he just changed the name on the emails. Below is Justin's contact info however.
