2005 ALES HOMEBREW OPEN & AHA
QUALIFIER COMPETITION
The Ale and Lager Enthusiasts of
Saskatchewan welcomes you to join in the spirit of competition with us
and enter this year's Homebrew Open. This classic competition
is held annually at one
of Canada's top brewpubs, The
Bushwakker Brewpub.
We are proud to announce
that once again our beer, mead, and cider competition will also act as a
qualifying site for the largest homebrew competition
IN THE WORLD,
The American Homebrew
Association's, "National Homebrew Competition", Which expects
to draw over 4000 entries this year!
The ALES Club, along with
our major sponsors, Bushwakker Brewpub, Paddockwood Brewing Supplies, The
Grape Vine, Infraready, Wyeast, The American Homebrewers Association, The Wine Cellar, Strange
Brew, Silver Screen,
KSP Hosting, and Big Jim’s Brewing will be
offering MAJOR prizes totaling over
$1800.00 in value!
And, back by popular demand medals in
all categories!
Also back this year is the popular New
Entrant category. So all you newbies, come and learn with us!
For those way out there
brewers, ALES will be including the Extreme Category #99, EXTREME BEER.
This category is designed to test and exceed the limits of the style
guidelines, the brewer’s skills, and the pallet. For the Extreme Category #99
we have only two specifications, the SG must be 1070+, and you must tell us
why it's Extreme.
Our competition mirrors the
ALES Club’s mission about learning and training. We encourage entrants
to enter their beer into more than one category and let some of the best
judges the North America tell which style it best represents and why.
As well, you will receive loads of constructive comments to help you improve
on your brewing skills.
Cost to
enter is still just $6 each for the first 6 entries; each subsequent entry
is one dollar. Example: 6 entries for $36, or 10 entries $40 or best
yet 15 entries for $45. This works out to only $3 per entry!
Our printed entry forms
can also be obtained by contacting the ALES Club Competition Chairmen (see
below). Entries will be accepted from
April 15th to April 22, 2005.
All entries must be
couriered directly to:
The
Bushwakker Brewpub,
2206 Dewdney Ave. Regina, SK, S4R 1H3
