[Liquidpoets] Next Iron Brewer Challenge

[Rod Simpson]

Hi Everyone,

For our next Liquid Poets Iron Brewer Challenge, I was thinking we'd re-do something we did a  few years back, and that challenge is...

No-Hop beers

This beer will contain no hops at any stage, and will be judged on drinkability - would you drink a pint?  There are lots of good resources out there for making non-hopped beers, including gruits and other types of historical beers, so do your homework and come up with a recipe.  I'm hoping for a good turnout since anyone from the greenest extract to the most-grizzled all-grain brewer should be able to come up with a good entry.  We'll judge it probably at the March or April meeting - details as they emerge.

To remind everyone, the Iron Brewer Challenge is a competition held within the Liquid Poets.  A particular brewing challenge is presented, people brew, enter, and pay a $5 entry fee.  The winner gets the money, and gets to pick the next iron brewer challenge.  Past examples have included candy beers, no barley, flowers, non-oak wood, chili beers, breakfast cereal beer, smoked, attack of the clones, chocolate, and non-stout/porter tea and coffee beer.

Good Luck!

Rod Simpson
