Start Up Brewery Hosts Homebrew Competition to Determine First Batch

Placentia, CA – July 9, 2007 – The Bruery, a new craft brewery in Orange County, California, is holding a homebrew competition which will determine the first batch brewed at the brewery. Patrick Rue, Owner and Brewer says, “We are excited to bring the spirit and innovation of homebrewing into our new brewery from its inception. We're still avid homebrewers ourselves and we strongly believe homebrewing is a significant part of what keeps craft beer interesting.”

The winning beer will be produced as the brewery’s first batch, named “Batch No. 01”. The winner will have the opportunity to assist in brewing the batch on their 17 bbl system, if the winner so chooses. The first, second and third place winners will also receive various prizes, which are still to be determined. The winner's name will be prominently mentioned on the bottle label. In addition, the batch will be served at The Bruery's grand opening celebration, which will take place in the Fall.

Based in Orange County, California, The Bruery is a small, traditional craft brewery which is slated to open in the Fall of 2007. The Bruery specializes in bottle conditioned Belgian-style and unconventional specialty beers.

I'll be entering (and hopefully judging) this with 2 cat. 18 beers: Golden and Dark Strong belgians.

I entered both at AHA and scored 28 and 35 respectively. Both have aged well for 9 months cold "lagering" and are very nice (IIDSSM).

Hope to have a lot of you enter! It's free and only 2 bottles.

Now go out and brew that Witbier! it's light and only takes 7 days from boil kettle to keg, trust me I've done it myself. If you want a hint on the secret, pm, call or email me..

See you later!

I am going to put this information in the newsletter. We have found that a lot of our members don't use the site as they are just not that into the internet or use dialup. We have some very experience members who probably have some amazing beers to enter. I know Garry is brewing like a madman. Wish I had the time. :cry: Hopefully soon.

I may try to get a barley wine ready, but not sure yet. Not really allot time to really decide. I haven't brewed a big beer yet, so it should be interesting. If nothing else, I will have a barley wine. I already have the ingredient, just need to make a starter.
