We're going to kick off 2013 at The Lauter Tun where we have been at least a couple times before.  We normally hold the events on Mondays at The Lauter Tun when they are closed but we're doing it on Thursday this time.  This will give us more of a chance to involve the public.  Food is not served at The Lauter Tun, but there is a Jimmy Johns pretty much next door and you're welcome to order in from other places as well.

Our themed (and prize-eligible) competition entries by RRBC members will be Porters & Stouts.  If you don't have a brew that fits this category or you're not a RRBC member, the Best-Damn-Beer competition is always open to ANY beer style as well as any brewer whether you are a RRBC member or not.  A reminder to those who would like to bring beer to the competition for the first time; bring either a growler, a six-pack of 12oz bottles, or 2-3 bomber bottles.
