[FCBrewClub] 16th Annual 8 Seconds of Froth--22 May 2010 (Club emailing list)

[WindyWY at aol.com]

The High Plains Drafters of Cheyenne Wyoming is hosting their 16th Annual 
Eight Seconds of Froth on Saturday, May 22th.  This is a BJCP sanctioned 
competition for all beer and mead/cider categories.  This is my initial, 
directed email to BJCP judges and other judges who have participated in previous 8 
Seconds of Froth competitions.   We're solicting entries, but just as 
important, judges and stewards. I apologize that many of you might receive 
multiple copies of this announcement.  However, I don't want to miss the 
opportunity to contact many of you who might not be in the BJCP judge database.

Check out our website   http://www.bbriggs.vcn.com/8seconds.html for 
complete details including entry deadlines and entry drop off locations throughout 
the Rocky Mountain front range. 

This year our judging and awards site will   once again be at the historic 
Plains Hotel in downtown Cheyenne WY.  This year's competition will be a 
qualifying event for the 2010 GABF Pro-AM competition.  Brewmaster Nathan 
Venner of the Altitude Chophouse and Brewery in Laramie WY will be selecting one 
of the category winning beers to be brewed and entered in this year's 2010 
GABF Pro-Am competition. 

This is the sixth year of our Ace of Clubs competition within a 
competition.  Homebrew clubs will be awarded points for each entry, judge and steward, 
and for all 1st, 2nd, 3rd place winners in each category also BOS beer and 
BOS mead.  The winning club receives a travelling trophy that they get to 
hold on to for the year.  Previous winners have been Foam on the Range-2005, 
Keg Ran Out Club-2006, Liquid Poets-2007, Keg Ran Out Club-2008 and Superior 
HBC-2009.

IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING THIS YEAR'S COMPETITION:

1.  Entries are due NLT 12 noon on Saturday, 15 May 2010.  

2.  Judges and stewards thinking about spending Saturday night in Cheyenne 
following the judging/awards ceremony should consider a special offer that 
the Plains Hotel--check out the website for additional details.

3.  If you're a homebrewer who has never judged at a BJCP/AHA sanctioned 
competition before, consider volunteering to serve as a steward.  You'll have 
the opportunity to work at a table with two to three experienced judges, 
hear their comments, and often have a chance to also sample many of the 
entries.

4.  Feel free to pass this information on to anyone else you think might be 
interesting in either entering the competition and/or judging/stewarding.

5.  And remember the actual judging/awards ceremony site will once again be 
in Cheyenne Wyoming this year!
