This one sells out fast since they cap the number of entries. It would be nice to get some participation for this one since the NHC is in San Diego this year.

I requested 3 beers... Two of which have been brewed, and neither of which have been tasted while cold and carbonated yet... Gonna have to brew next weekend to make sure I get the third done in time if I get all three entries approved.

How about everyone else? You've registered? Only two days left to try to get your beers in...

Got mine. Wish it was San Diego for my entry center for a day trip.

Anyone else shipping to Austin, TX?

I have a 6-bottle wine shipping container and a 12-bottle wine shipping container. If nobody else is shipping to Austin, I can fit my 3 entries in the 6-bottle version. But if anyone else is shipping to Austin and wants to combine, let me know.

That sucks. I hate shipping beers. I was lucky and got into San Diego.

Just paid for my entries. Robust Porter, German Pilsner, and Schwarzbier.

Reminder: Payment for entries is due TODAY!

I paid for my entry, and I am lucky enough to be on the San Diego round. Is anyone planning on a drive down there to drop off? Depending on the time/day, I may be up for shotgun and a stop somewhere on the way back! :)

Hey, I like to look on the bright side. The fact that I'm in the Austin, TX region means that I won't have to face any of you folks in NHC--at least until the second round. Brewcommune is stiff competition!

:cheers:

I would be up for that. Right now it's looking like March 7 or 8 would work out for me.
