Hey guys, we received this email to the club account. I checked them out and they seem to be legit from everything I can find online. They'll be contract brewing the recipes with half of the proceeds going to a different charity each month. Seem to be just a few beer guys who wanted to do something fun with homebrewers involved. Good luck!
Hey fellow homebrewers -
My name is Nick and along with a few homebrewing friends we've started a commercial brewing company. Everyone one of our beers will be from a winning homebrew recipe from an Illinois Homebrewer. We are holding monthly contests based around a style and the winner gets a cash prize and then his/her beer brewed commercially and distributed in/around Chicago. Our main goal is to expose great Illinois homebrewers but also to raise money for local charities as half the profits from each beer and the contest entry all go to charity.
For our first contest, we're asking for winter warmers. Submissions are due January 12 and 19, 2013. The contest will be judged by BJCP judges and our friends in the craft beer and beer blogging community. We posted the official Rules and Regulations, Entry Information and Bottle ID Forms for the contest on our tumblr page (http://middlebrowbeer.tumblr.com). And please feel free to visit our facebook page for more information about our company, and feel free also to throw us a "like," if you're so inclined. (http://www.facebook.com/middlebrow)
If you could please share this email or information with your fellow homebrewers and club members we'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
Nick Burica @ Middle Brow
