NEBRASKA SHOOT-OUT REMINDER!
The Lincoln Lagers are hosting the event this year at Misty’s Downtown/Modern Monks Brewery on Saturday, April 7th. We are shooting for a Noon start time.
This is the event where the homebrew clubs from all over Nebraska meet up to compete for the coveted Cup.
Four BJCP categories have been chosen, as well as one open category “Best damn beer”. Each club is allowed to submit a maximum of 2 entries per category. Overall scoring for the categories is based on a point system. 1st place beers receives 3 points, 2nd place beers receives 2 points, and each 3rd place beers receives 1 point.
While the Best Damn Beer category does not progress to the BOS round, it is rather used to decide who wins in case of a points tie, as well as receiving the super cool rusty capper traveling trophy. The trophy will look great on any mantle.
The overall winner of BOS will receive the traveling Nebraska Shootout Cup.
Category 11 — English Brown Ale
11A. Mild
11B. Southern English Brown
11C. Northern English Brown
Category 14 — India Pale Ale (IPA)
