Hi again beer lovers! Happy Friday!
Lots of homebrewers dream about brewing professionally; a couple of the big craft brewers give them a chance to have their beer hit the big time.
From the Weekly Pint:
What if you had a chance to take a precious recipe to the big leagues and knock it out of the park, Big Papi-style?
That’s exactly the idea behind Samuel Adams annual LongShot American Homebrew competition.... More than 1,000 entries were submitted... Two winners make into an actual six-pack to be released nationally in early spring 2014, plus one recipe from an employee of the brewery
On the left coast, Sierra Nevada does something similar with their "
Beer Camp"; a member of my homebrew club had his Beer Camp IPA released commercially a few months ago.
I won't be around this evening but I'm sure you can amuse yourselves. I'll find out later what kind of beverage choices the banquet organizers give us. What are you drinking? Is anyone brewing?
