I'll be bringing Pete's (Hub Brewer) contest entry with me to the advent beer exchange. Would anyone be able to help out getting it into Brian's (Boogie) hands in case I can't sync up with him while I'm in the city?

He lives pretty close to Sandy
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

I've asked Sandy to hold on to Keith's entry, as he was hoping to drop it off at the same time as the exchange but I'm going to be in Sprytown at that time. I'm gonna grab it from him the next day. In case anyone missed it before, PM me and we'll arrange a time for you to drop it off.

Hi folks, don't forget to register your beer in time to get a snazzy shirt and a chance at glory! Last year's winning beer, Tim's Dirty IPA was a hit, so much so that Big Spruce brewed it again this fall!

Whether it be at a favourite bar, or at a judge's house, the competition is still going on, I promise you that!

Just an FYI, the judging is taking place this Sunday, the 30th (not the 29th, as previously announced).
Big Spruce will be releasing the winning info, so watch their Twitter feed for the up-to-the-minute results. They will be posted here shortly thereafter, though.

I put one in. Jeff dropped it off at Sandy's. Hoping it made it's way to Boogie.

I passed. The timing wasn't going to work for me to a brew a new batch, and the batch from July is mostly gone, and according to the judges "could use more hops".
