Brew-tality3: NOTHING TO LOSE
Your Blairs Ferry Road Hy-Vee Drugstore is proud to announce the official date and details of our 3rd locals home brewers competition, which is an event that the public can attend, as well as the registered brewers! Last time around we focused on British style beers, but this time the scope has been broadened, and we’ve gone APOCOLYPTIC on you! With the proposed end of the world quickly approaching in December 2012, registered brewers will be tasked to create truly unique and original beers with only one rule: they have to contain elements of the odd or outrageous! This can include atypical ingredients or brewing twists, unusual blending of styles, or all of the above. If Armageddon truly is upon us, it’s time to cast aside boundaries and brew like we have NOTHING TO LOSE! Details and registration forms are available to pick up at the Wine and Spirits Department. We will accept the first 15 brewers with paid registration. We were excited to help our last winners, Alex and Jesse, get a small batch of their winning submission COMMERCIALLY brewed, bottled, and labeled for sale right here in our store, but again, we have taken it to the next level! The winners this time will travel to Iowa’s own Backpocket Brewery, to join Brewmaster Jacob Simmons in creating a run exceeding 250 cases of the winning brew, bottled and distributed throughout the entire STATE !
This event will be held at the Blairs Ferry Road FIELDHOUSE restaurant, and will be open to the public. Save the date, Saturday December 15, from 1pm-4pm for “Brew-tality 3: NOTHING TO LOSE”, the next installment of our highly successful local home brewers competition!
