 NEBRASKA SHOOT-OUT REMINDER!

The Lincoln Lagers are hosting the event this year at Misty’s Downtown/Modern Monks Brewery on Saturday, April 7^th.  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 Best Of Show round, it is used to decide who wins in case of a points-tie, as well as receiving the rare and super cool Rusty Capper traveling trophy.  This 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)
14A. English IPA
14B. American IPA
14C. Imperial IPA

 Category 15 — German Wheat and Rye Beer
15A. Weizen/Weissbier

15D. Roggenbier (German Rye Beer)

 Category 18 — Belgian Strong Ale

This years theme is: Wisconsin Breweries

This event will have over 20 commercial craft beers provided by DOGS & SPUDS in addition to a few of my home brews.

Admittance is FREE, but we encourage all of those attending to bring a commercial or home brew beer to share. There will be sausages, soup, bread and cheese provided, but I ask that everyone bring a SIDE DISH to share.

Once again this year we are also going to hold a “Best of Show Competition” between the home brewers. This competition will be based on the people’s choice. Everyone in attendance will have a vote to determine the “Best of Show Winner.” The winner will have their name placed on a traveling trophy and a cash prize of $30 will be awarded.

Additional information is on the Lincoln Lagers Forum. Questions can be addressed to Event Host Ryan Cairns, his number is listed in the forum thread.

See you on the 15th!!!

The Husker football game will be showing on the TV and any of our attendees are welcome to start showing up any time after 4PM.  Food will be at 7PM — well after the Huskers game is over!
