Red Brick Brewing & Taco Mac Hold Pro-Am Brewing Competition
Attention Home Brewers! It is time to get prepared for the Southern Brewer’s Challenge! In honor of National Home Brewing Month, please read the following announcement. This is your chance to enter a pro-am competition to have your recipe made by a commercial brewery, and sold at restaurants across the southeast. Here is how it works:
Taco Mac and Red Brick Brewing Co. have partnered up to help make one lucky home brewer’s dream come true. We will be receiving submissions throughout the month of July at specific Atlanta-area Taco Mac locations. Dates and locations will be listed below. Our judging panels, made up of representatives from Taco Mac and Red Brick, along with other Atlanta-area beer luminaries, will judge the submissions throughout the month of August. Once the winner has been announced, the brewery will take some time to fine tune the recipe to their brew system’s specifications. Once a final recipe is reached, the beer will go into production. The release date will be targeted for the very first opportunity in January, 2013.
Once the beer is available for sale at all area Taco Mac locations, the brewery will go back to work on another batch. This next batch will be bottled for a targeted launch in the spring of 2013. In fact, the release of the bottles (to be sold at area off-premise retail stores) will coincide with the announcement of the 2013 Southern Brewer’s Challenge. If this program is as successful as we expect, we will continue to do this every year.
The submissions will be at the following locations on the specified dates:
Monday, July 2nd at Taco Mac in Cumming and Peachtree City
Monday, July 9th at Taco Mac in Kennesaw and Buford
Monday, July 16th at Taco Mac at Prado and Metropolis
Monday, July 23rd at Taco Mac in Duluth and Crabapple
Monday, July 30th at Taco Mac at Windward Pkwy and Decatur
When planning out what you are going to submit, here are some things to think about:
No more than two styles per brewer.
The winning beer needs to be produced in a large quantity, so choose ingredients that are readily available.
Red Brick brews mostly ales, and in the interest of not tying up their equipment with a lengthy lagering process, ale styles would be preferred.
All submissions must have an accompanying info sheet, which will be provided at a later date. In addition, all submissions must be in the form of two bottles of twelve ounces each. No big bottles, no growlers, etc. Lastly, the submissions need to be received at the stores specified, on the dates specified, and between 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm. There will be someone on site to receive the samples during those times, which will prevent loss, breakage, or anything else that would prevent samples from getting to the tasting panel in tact. If you miss the submission date, you must choose a different location to drop off your beer. If you leave it at a location before or after the submission date and time, it will not get into the judging process.
One of the highest rated beers in the world: Westvleteren XII is finding it’s way into distribution around the world this year. The monastery in Belgium needs thousands of dollars in repairs and distributing the beers will help rebuild it. When you have a beer as rare and so highly touted as Westie XII, it causes a stir.
70,000 boxes of what has been ranked the #1 beer on planet earth will hit U.S. soil as early as June. If you consider the number of individuals want this beer in 50 states, you aren’t left with many to share. Shelton Brothers is one of the importers donating time (and shipping) to bring Westvleteren stateside. After speaking with Shelton, BSJ has all but confirmed a sad bit of information. Georgia will not receive XII. Preliminary numbers put just 15 (assuming box sets) in the state. That’s barely any product. Savannah Distributing will apparently pass on bringing Westvleteren into the state. (With pretty good reason if this is indeed true, you’ll never make anyone happy with such little product.)
Can’t wait to see the markups and eBay sales on this one. Still waiting on Savannah to confirm this information.
Head over to Square Pub today at 5 pm for a cask of Terrapin’s special release: Tree Hugger.
Terrapin’s Tree Hugger is an altbier using organic ingredients and is a fantastic version of the traditional style. Terrapin has been a supporter of the Dogwood Alliance’s Green Fest for 7 Years, and this year we are excited to contribute a unique beer to event!
