Everyone get you beers ready...

The 17th Annual Peach State Brew Off is right around the corner.

When: March 27, 2010
Entries Accepted: Now through 3/20
Fee: $7 per entry (2 bottles)
Where: 5 Seasons Westside (Atlanta, GA)
What: All beers, meads, and ciders

Entries and pay fees via PayPal on CovertHops website.

If you enter and you are local, you should come by for the awards ceremony. For the first time this year, medals will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd places and there will be a ton of great prizes. In addition to awards there will be a raffle and the sponsors have really pulled out all the stops this year and there will be a ton of great stuff there. Check out the website for all the details and pictures of the medal (I have seen them, they are sweet).

Also, be sure to try some of Crawford's great beer, Chef Dave's great food, and stop by next door at Hop City to pick up your favorite commercial beer.

I have a Brown Ale, American Stout, and a Chipotle Stout going in for sure. Maybe a California Common, a Wee Heavy, and an IPA.

So, let's hear it, what is everyone else entering?

I'm entering quite a few.. the more I enter the more chances I have to get a sweet medal! I would list them all but i'm not 100% sure of everything that is going in.

Just got a notice that mine arrived today.

I got a call from UPS today at work (chemical plant). Lady said that I had shipped a hazardous chemical without the proper paperwork or labels. I had a bottle break one time on the way to a competition in the mail and they tried to call it a flammable liquid and pin me with a fine. Remembering back on this I got pretty upset with the lady and started arguing with her. Finally I realized that she wasn't talking about my beer entries, she was talking about an actual chemical I had shipped out. I was relieved.

Oh, and they were also wrong about the chemical.

Just entered a few beers myself... here goes nothing!

According to the UPS tracking info, UPS destroyed my entries.

Hopefully they will still get something in some shape for judging. But I am guessing not.

Happened to me once. Sucks ass. I got mine back in time to ship another bottle. I go over the top with entries now, UPS doesn't give a **** about what's in your box.
