Re: Mazer Cup International 2013
Looking forward to entering my new metheglin in this year's Mazer Cup!!
Just noticed that the deadline is for bottles to ARRIVE BY!
That means your mail-in bottles need to be there by March 1st, 2013... so plan on sending them in a week or so early... this leaves just 2 weeks or so to get everything done!
Good luck everybody!

Re: Mazer Cup International 2013
I was just checking the Mazer Cup site (you still have a few days to get your mead in!!!), and noticed that both Kevin Hammons & Lars had gold medals in Sweet Meads's from the past 2 years! Not sure if that was posted here, but congrats you guys! That is quite a feat with such a large number of entries! 
Hope all our meadmakers are sending in meads on this year!

Re: Mazer Cup International 2013
That's correct Chris, March 1, 2013 is the entry deadline.
I mentioned below that Brewcommune has historically kicked ass in this competition taking home Gold, Silver and Honorable Mention in the Best of Show Round as well. Three of our guys (Dan Hempy, Kevin Hammons and Lars Wright) have all been sent to the Best of Show round and all three damn near walked away with the Best of Show award. It won't be the same without the Brewcommuners in the mix.
This is also a landmark year for the Mazer Cup International as we have incorporated in the State of Colorado and are in the process of being approved as a 501c3 not-for-profit corporation at the Federal level as well.
This year's competition is going to be HUGE! We already passed 400 entries in the Home Meadmaker Competition and over 300 entries in the Meadery Competition. Typically we get the most entries during the final week before the deadline and that is certainly holding true at this point. We are well on our way to breaking 800 total entries between both competitions, and it wouldn't surprise me to see it go as high as 900.
If you want to compete against the best in the world, this is the competition to enter. We are the largest mead-only competition in the world and we have more entries from more countries than ever before. So don't miss out, get those entries in and represent!

Re: Mazer Cup International 2013
OK folks, all you meadmakers out there get ready for this. We closed entries on Friday 03/01 and at that time we had 502 home entries and 342 commercial entries for a total of 842 entries which is our largest year thus far, and right about were we were expecting to be in our five year plan . . . which just happens to be this year coincidentally!
We can still use judges and stewards so check out our website at http://www.mazercup.com and click on the Judges and Volunteers link to sign up. We have special group discount rates at the hotel and we feed our judges and volunteers on Thu Fri and Sat (03/14-03/16) before and between judging sessions.
Another great event is the 2013 Mead Mixer. Picture a room full of the best mead in the world along with some nice gourmet canapes and there you have it!
