\n4) Bring 6 – 12 oz bottles or a 64 oz growler of your beer to the designated meeting for judging.

\n6) If you fail to participate in a challenge it will affect your ability to partake in future challenges.<\/p>\n

CHALLENGE #1 – Hop Salad<\/p>\n

For this challenge participants blindly picked three ounces of mystery hops and designed a beer around them, any style of their choosing. \u00a0Entries for this challenge were judged at our January meeting at Coasters. \u00a0The winner of this Challenge was Billy Dawson with a California Common.<\/p>\n

CHALLENGE #2 – IRISH you were Beer!<\/p>\n

Starting in January we began giving brewers Kent Goldings hops to use in their next brew. Beers for this Challenge must be from BJCP Category 15 – 15A Irish Red Ale, 15B Irish Stout or 15C Irish Extra Stout.<\/p>\n

CHALLENGE #3 –\u00a0Fruit Challenge<\/p>\n

Starting at the Spring Party interested club members can draw a fruit\u00a0to use in their next brew. \u00a0Entries will be judged at the\u00a0Summer Party in June.
