It looks like the bottles have to be received by the 22nd of January.. that may be too tight for me since i get back on the 4th of january and would have to brew... tempted to put in one of the ones i have recently brewed but they are all low abv beer that may not score as well after sitting for awhile.

I was bottling some beer to send to this today. I added another entry. They are still accepting entries. My new entry # was 3221. I thought they had a limit of 750.

Anyone else feel like venturing south of the border?

I'm packing up every bottled beer I have in the fridge to send to this tomorrow. Yeast samples for analysis of course. I probably won't place. I think it's quite a big competition, but I thought there might be a slim chance since all except Tangerine Blonde and Chocolate Orange have won stuff. Hope they have a good trip and get through customs. Good luck beers, sad to see you go. :(

Keith, I thought about that, but I can't because it would put me as the brewer. What you could do is register the beer and pay your fees online. Then send me your account and password. I would then access your account, print off the form, bottle labels and your payment receipt, and put it in the box. It only allows you to print your payment receipt once, so don't you print it, unless you can print/scan/email to me. You need to do it this morning, as I have to pack them. Let me know ASAP. I'll cover shipping. One bottle won't make a difference. Enter it as an Imperial IPA maybe.

I wasn't too concerned just seen you could stop the BOS and still get in. Figured it would be a good time to check it. But you crack it before its past it's prime

I'm going to need a medal for filling out the US customs forms on the FedEx site. I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I'll ask the guy tomorrow when he picks it up.

Thanks Tony, the beer is in Memphis on its way to Brooklyn and I think it cleared customs.

It seems to have taken a more direct route this time. It's delivered now, less than 48 hours.

663 entries. Getting nervous. Judging this weekend. I think mine is the brown empty box smack in the middle of the picture (cf picture 6 posts up). They emailed to say one bottle was missing, presumed broken (they had a "few breakages"), and did I want to send another. That was nice. It was a slightly out of style blonde, so I didn't send another.

Results not out until tomorrow. Probably won't get anything. If not I'll try again next year. I like those people down there.

Awesome work! We definitely need to make a run at getting Brewnosers in the top of the Canadian Homebrewer of the Year. That working man ale has been a solid competitor for you. The chocolate orange sounds really intriguing!
