Competition Corner – September 2012
For all you folks looking for something different and interesting to brew, here are a couple of unique opportunities: At the September club meeting on Sept 20th, we will be holding a special soda contest for the 2012 Beer, Art & Music Fest. Sodas are quick to brew, so there is plenty of time this weekend to get one ready. Winning entries get two free tickets to the fest, and get to have your soda featured at the fest itself on October 6th, at the 18th Street Art Center in Santa Monica. Rules of the competition are simple:
1) You need to bring a keg to the September meeting.
2) Note that the entry can have NO alcohol.
3) Club members will vote on the white board (just like the keg of the month contest).
4) Winners must agree to bring soda to the fest.
This year 18th Street is teaming up with Pacific Gravity member and LA craft beer industry veteran Martin Svab (Stone Brewery & Naja’s Place) to help facilitate the beer side of the festival. Participating craft breweries range from big to small, including the popular and larger Sierra Neveda Brewing and Firestone Walker Brewing Companies, to the smaller but equally great Angel City, Golden Road and Surf Brewing. Martin had hoped to offer Pacific Gravity Homebrew at the fest, but we were limited to non-alcohol offerings due to ATF/ABC restrictions. But, we all know the club can make some great sodas, so bring out your best!
Also up for grabs are two soda slots for the LA Beer Week and the awesome LA Beer Week Festival at Union Station, which will be on Sunday, September 30th from Noon until 4PM. Winners get free tickets, but must agree to serve soda and hand out PG flyers at the event. Details about the event can be found at http://www.itsmyseat.com/LABeerWeek/ .
