[DOZE] World Cup 2008

[Jonathan Plise]

World Cup of Beer Competition
 
The Bay Area Mashers of Berkeley, CA proudly announce the 14th Annual 
World Cup of Beer Competition. The competition is sanctioned by the 
American Homebrewers Association, and is a qualifying event for MCAB. 
 We are using the 2004 BJCP Style Guidelines, as we are "grandfathered" 
for this year.
 
We invite you to participate; by entering our competition and/or helping 
to staff our judging rounds as a Judge or Steward.
 
Entries should be received by March 8th.  Both are preliminary and final 
judging rounds will be held at Trumer Brauerei in Berkeley, CA on March 
22nd and March 29th respectively. For those of you who participated last 
year, a good time was had by all. We will either have judging outside or 
make sure the warehouse is not as chilly.
 
More information on the competition, our sponsors, and registration can 
be found on our website:  http://www.bayareamashers.org/WCHome.htm
 
Entries are $7 and we require three 10-17 ounce brown bottles with no 
distinguishing marks on the bottle or cap. Well blacked out caps are OK. 
Nip bottles (6-8 oz.) are OK for Barley Wine.  Ribbons will be awarded 
and mailed to the top three entries of each flight category (present or 
not).  First selection of prizes will go first to those present at the 
awards ceremony, and as arranged locally with Oak Barrel Winecraft.
 
Entries may be delivered in person to NCAL MoreBeer! Showrooms, or The 
Oak Barrel Winecraft in Berkeley, CA.
