Challenge #4 – Extreme Brew Challenge\"Extreme<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

No rules, just Extreme Beers… Russ Pellow this one is for you! Have you ever wanted to experiment and add Birthday Cake or Tang to your beer? How about an artichoke (Drew Thaller)? Well here is your chance to get your creative juices flowing and brew something off the wall. No BJCP styles here, just a popularity contest. Presentation of the beer will also be considered if you care to rim your glass or serve with a truffle made from the beer. Only goal is to make everyone love it! Beers will be judged at the July Meeting. Start thinking about this one now. Remember the crazier the better. I believe Ryan Kaestner will be using the tears of Virgins and Unicorn hooves so don’t steal his ideas. CHEERS!<\/strong><\/p>\n
