For March, we're brewing with the luck of the Irish.  Whether it be a dry stout, red, lager, or any other Irish style, be sure to empty your pot 'o gold before brewing in it!  Thanks to Nebraska Brewing Company for hosting the event!

As usual, the public is welcome to join in and bring their Irish home-brews or just partake in the tasting and judge.  However; only club members are eligible to win prizes.

Four BJCP categories have been chosen, as well as one open category “Best Damn Beer”. Each club is allowed to submit a maximum of 2 entries per category.  Overall scoring for the categories is based on a point system.
1st place beers receives 3 points, 2nd place beers receives 2 points, and each 3rd place beers receives 1 point.

While the Best Damn Beer category does not progress to the Best Of Show round, it is used to decide who wins in case of a points-tie, as well as receiving the rare and super cool Rusty Capper traveling trophy.  This trophy will look great on any mantle.

The overall winner of BOS will receive the traveling Nebraska Shootout Cup.
