Hey Ceatta!

Does Elfsea have a guild?  If not, want to get together for brewing days/evenings?  I'm originally from Bryn Gwlad, and it's lonely up here by myself.  ;<   I'm in Glaslyn (Denton).

The only problem I see with that is that we had been making an effort to learn about and conform to Kingdom standards.  Has anyone else seen the new judging forms?  I like!

Take time out of your busy schedule and talk to Ox at Springfaire.  He loves to natter about beer and processes.  ;>

Cool!!!  I'm for it.  Do you need help?

What would we do for the central region?  Hold two?    Personally, I'd rather just see one or two big competitions a year.  I mean, more is better, but I'm not into the formalized rounds of competition style of things.

BTW, assuming my canton agrees, I am going to hold a small tasting/competition (depending on how many people bring stuff) at Glaslyn's next mini-tourney, which is May 21 if memory serves me.  If I get agreement from the group, I'll post a formal invitation.  ;>  If it isn't then, it will be in September.
