The Kansas City Bier Meisters 29th Annual Homebrew Competition is coming up on Feb 17/18, 2012.  The theme this year is HOPS!   Tom Malowski has offered to drive any club entries down to KC on Friday, February 3rd, so he will need your entries by Thursday, February 2nd.  If you would like to compete; fill out the online entry form, pay the fee, and if you need Tom to deliver your entry, shoot him or Dustin an email.    Thanks to Tom for offering to deliver!  If he totes your beers to KC, buy him a beer the next time you see him...

Thanks to those that came out for the competition last night and especially to William, Steve, Terry, Bill, John, Pat, and Tom for providing great beers to judge!  The top three for the night were:

    1.  Hoppy Black Ale -- Tom Malowski
    2.  Rasberry Wheat -- William Rozman
    3.  (Tie) Caribou Slobber & Black Dog Ale -- Terry Duke

Tom was awarded a recipe kit for an Irish Red which he immediately passed on to William.  A home-brew starter kit was also awarded as a door prize.  Head over to the event page to check out the full results.

If you have any great beer recipes you've come up with that you're willing to share with the rest of the club, email the recipes to me and I'll post them on a secure page that only RRBC members will have access to.

Congrats to Steve Moore, his Bourbon Porter won the Lucky Bucket porter competition! It will be released at Lucky Bucket in March!  Stay tuned for the precise release date!
