Patrick,
Thanks for volunteering to be a steward at the Brew-ha-ha! I'm head of the steward/judge committee and will put your name and e-mail on my list of volunteers. We (I) will be sending out requests for judges and stewards to the general homebrewing community the end of this month, and will send out more information closer to the competition. If you know of anyone else wanting to come up and steward or judge please pass on my e-mail or have them check the club website ( www.northernalestars.org).

The committee is working on securing a block of rooms at the Super 8 Motel in Superior, which is about 1 mile from the Belgian Club. If not, there is a Holiday Inn Express, a Days Inn and the Barkers Island Inn on the same street about 3 miles away.

Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you at the Brew-ha-ha!

Yes the competition will be held at the Belgian Club 3931 East 2nd Street Superior, WI 54880. I'll forward this on to a few others who may be able to answer your lodging question. I am not sure if a block of rooms may have been reserved any where.

Thanks Walt! I'll be sure to grab some if I can make it up there for the Brew Ha-Ha. I'd like to get up there to steward for the competition (a first for me). Any idea of where the judging might be and any recommendations on nearby hotels?

If you guys are looking Dogfish Head Keyport Liquor in Superior, WI
carries some of their brews. They are kind of strung out all thru the
store so you have to look around or ask. They do have the 120 minute IPA
($8.99 a bottle). They also have the FORT (750ml bottle for $15.99). On
occasion they have the Midas Touch. They carry most of the year round
beers. The single high end beers are right at the cash register.

If you see any, I'd like something from Dogfish Head. Don't care what,
just a six pack of something.

Here's a great set of calculators for brewing
http://www.beertribe.com/gizmos/calcs/
You can use that to evaluate the ABV.

Also, in other news, there's a new homebrew shop in St. Cloud as
mentioned in the Cloudy Town Brewer's monthly newsletter. And,
remember, I work in Sauk Rapids and could easily be encouraged to check
it out. For more info check out
