Cool! I wanted to enter this one last year, but did not get my brews together in time... This time, I'm ready.

Thanks!

Sounds like we all need to meet at Main Street Brewery to drop off our entries.

+1 when are you dropping off? I want to see if my sorachi wheat will be good/ready in time so I'll probably be going on the 7th or 8th.

I still haven't gotten the request for judges for this one, but I'll probably sign up for at least one day of judging.

The 7th or 8th are both fine with me. LA County Fair judging is on the 8th, so if I drop off that day, it will be later in the day. I already bottled most of my beers. The only one I will probably enter that I haven't bottled yet is the Blonde Ale.

I'm planning on heading over there on the 8th to drop off my entries if anyone wants to meet up or would prefer to drop off your entries in Tustin rather than Corona.

Oh, and bwarbiany, I'm entering the Imp. Milk Stout under our names. I may end up listing your name as primary brewer if I enter something else in 23 also.

Awesome...

Do you think it wouldn't fare well in 13F?

It's hard to say. In my opinion it's definitely a better fit in 23 because it's way too sweet to be in 13F. Other judges may see it differently, or if the competition wasn't as good in 13 it might do better there. It's tempting to enter it in both categories.

BrianB and I will be at Main Street Brewery on Sat. around noon to drop off our entries. Anyone want to meet up for lunch?

Can't make it at noon as I will be at the Fairplex in Pomona. I will probably drop them off later that day if I don't get it done tomorrow afternoon.

BTW - what categories are you entering? It could save me the $6 entry fee!

I'm only entering three beers (because I'm lazy). Brown Porter, American Pale Ale, and Munich Helles. I don't think I have anything else bottled.

I've decided to enter... 16E and 28C.

Not sure how either will do. The 16E is the Belgian Patersbier (you guys may have had it at SCHF), which is a good beer but it's likely to be a bit "small" compared to the rest of 16E. 28C is my Apfelwein, and I've never competed in Cider, nor tasted a homemade cider from any other brewer, so I have *no* clue what to expect as far as how I stack up against competition.

So it'll be interesting :)
