Research shows that moderate beer consumption can help prevent heart disease and strokes, provide important vitamins and minerals, is low in fat and helps increase good cholesterol (HDL).
I am totally stoked for this and this will be my first competition as a homebrewer. I do have a favor to ask…is there anyone who is willing to haul my brew that I am entering into the competition? I have to work till 1 so won’t be there till 2. I will still be there to give out samples but I don’t want to miss the judging!
Joe: Glad to hear you are bringing some beer to the event. I’ll post your question to the members of the club via email, and rest assured that someone will be able to help out. I’ll ask them to contact you directly via email.
We look forward to seeing you on the big day.
