A reminder that the deadline is fast approaching, guys and gals. Beer needs to be in Montreal by July 4th.

I met Andrew at Mondial de Biere yesterday, he is the one organizing the competition. He's looking forward to lot of entries from out East, and has said there are plenty of prizes to be awarded. Well worth the $6 entry (plus shipping).

I'm debating it for fun.

EDIT: I think I will throw at least two entries this way. Rubbertoe - are you packing for this comp?

[jtmwhyte]

I may want to enter this

[Keith]

If I could get this foaming issue under control I'd contemplate putting in the Pineapple ipa.

[GasMD30]

I was contemplating entering this too but then I read they want brown, green, or clear bottles! Mine are blue!!!!

Should I just completely forgo entering?

[chalmers]

Best to ask them. They'll probably be fine with it, but a heads up is good.

[LeafMan66_67]

RubberToe - based on past FedEx experience, when do these beer need to leave? Found out Thursday I'm in NJ/NY until Wednesday.

[RubberToe]

You should have no probs. It's 3 days to out west so if you send it the end of next week you'll be golden.

Not sure if I'm entering but might just send a couple.

Sent from the brew timer.

[GasMD30]

I think I'm a tad late to rush deliver for this competition... Damn my procrastination!!

[LeafMan66_67]

Had some emergency repairs at home, along with some planned repairs and a quick trip to NY. My beer never got bottled. Oh well!

[GasMD30]

Still have time for Ottawa though!

[GuingesRock]

Judging finished. I brewed like a bugger to get ready for these three (this one, Because and National Capital). I have a couple of new ones in this comp, including poolside blonde, and another couple on deck for the National Capital. Did anyone else enter this in the end? They had 319 entries.

I'm in this one. I missed Hamilton, but I'm going to try to get a few into Ottawa.

Ho Hum ...It's the waiting game. They had their awards ceremony yesterday. Good luck amartin, and anyone else who sent in to this.

[amartin]

Thanks, you too. Yes, I've been checking every 10 minutes or so since. For the sake of my job performance, I hope we find out soon.

Me too, or at least I was ...relaxing, don't worrying, and having a home brew now.

[GuingesRock]

They posted now that results won't be out for "about a week or two" ...apparently "due to the amazing amounts of entries". I wonder if they need to do more judging sessions.

[amartin]

Maybe. If that's the case though, it would have been nice of them to update earlier.

[GuingesRock]

Congratulations! Amartin for the medal for the special bitter.

Edit - 2 medals for Andrew. weizenbock as well. Congrats!

[LeafMan66_67]

Nicely done! Gold for GRock for Poolside Blonde and two Bronze for Andrew with the Special Bitter and Weizenbock! Great representation again for the Brewnosers!
