Homebrew competition happening in 2013

Home brewers, start your fermenters—the first annual Louisiana State Homebrew competition is set for November 2013. The Brewstock shop in New Orleans is sponsoring the contest, and brewers interested in entering should start making and testing batches now. The event will include dinners, tastings and more—with prizes and ribbons awarded to winners. Competition is open to residents of Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Arkansas—but with Baton Rouge’s booming home brew culture, the Red Stick should be well represented. Keep your eyes on Brewstock’s website for the official rules and regulations to be announced soon.
