Each competition concentrates attention on a specific style of beer or mead, giving our club the opportunity to educate club members in these styles by focusing on them at club meetings or tasting events.<\/p>\n<p>All AHA-registered homebrew clubs are eligible to compete in the COC. Each club may only send one entry per competition.\u00a0 So, bring your homebrew to the April meeting for the next COC!!<\/p>\n<p>May 2013<\/p>\n<p>Extract Beers<\/p>\n<p>Hosted by Stan Backlund and the Hangtown Association of Zymugry Enthusiasts club of Placerville, CA, this competition covers BJCP categories 1-23 where 50% or more of the fermentable sugars must come from the use of malt extract.<\/p>\n<p>So, bring your eligible homebrew to the April meeting and some of our resident expert judges will determine which beer should represent our club!!\u00a0 If your beer is chosen, SAAZ will reimburse you for shipping!!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Upcoming\u00a0 Florida Competitions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">A Walk on the Wild Side<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Special Hoperations invites you to come take a walk on the wild side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Special Hoperations, a homebrew club in Tampa Florida, would like to pass along the follow information regarding our upcoming Sour and Brett Beer (mead and cider, too) competition. In order to make it easy for all to enter, we are asking for only two bottles and most bottles are accepted regardless of size or manner in which the bottle was capped. It means extra work for us, but we don&#8217;t mind. We know these are time consuming beers to make and therefore we accept the extra effort and care it will take to logistically handle different bottle sizes and caps during cellaring and judging to ensure your beers are stored and served properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Registration opens May 3rd and closes on June 1st.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.specialhoperations.org\/wildside\/\">http:\/\/www.specialhoperations.org\/wildside\/<\/a> for more details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The 2013 Hogtown Brew-Off<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Will be held again at the beautiful Kanapaha Botanical Gardens May 24-25, 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Kanapaha will be the site of judging Friday and Saturday, the Wild Boar Keg Competition Saturday afternoon, and the gala awards banquet Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>Entry Window Will Open On April 22, 2013<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hogtownbrewers.org\/Brewoff\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.hogtownbrewers.org\/Brewoff<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Details of locations, times, etc. are available at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/miami-homebrew.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/miamihomebrew.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Meadllennium<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meadllennium is one of the nation&#8217;s premier, MEAD-ONLY competitions.<\/p>\n<p>Meadllennium will be held this year on June 8, 2013 in Sanford Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Registration is now open!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cfhb.org\/meadllennium\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.cfhb.org\/meadllennium\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cfhb.org\/meadllennium\/\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a>To submit entries, be sure to read the Entry Requirements, then go to Reggie<br \/>\nto register your entries online.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in coming to help judge these delicious meads, visit<br \/>\nour Facebook Event Page for all of the details and late breaking news.<\/p>\n<p>Nice weather and good mead &#8211;
