Time to bring home some hardware

I had some incredible beers at Oktoberfest, and I know most of you who brewed for the event still have a little left in the keg. So here's my challenge to all of you: enter your beer in the Chicago Beer Society's Spooky Brew Review and bring home a medal or two.

Full details are here, but the basic facts are as follows... You have to submit two 12-oz. bottles per entry, along with a $7 entry fee, by October 24. Unfortunately, the only drop-off location is the Brewer's Coop (the homebrew store attached to the Two Brothers' Taphouse) which is a hike for those of us on the South Side and collar suburbs. If you're willing to make the trek out there, your reward is some incredible beer and food at Two Brothers. However, if you're not up for the drive, feel free bring your entries to next Tuesday's meeting and I'll drop them off when I submit mine. I won't even charge you for gas!

Oh, and for those of you who are BJCP-certified, they're looking for judges. Even if you're not, they may be looking for novice judges, as well as stewards, to help out. The event itself is on October 31st at Emmett's Ale House in Palatine.
