We are always amazed by the great sponsorship we get from the homebrew community, local breweries, and equipment manufacturers! Thank you to everyone who donated brewing equipment, merchandise and swag, gift cards, and (maybe my favorite) free beers at Minneapolis-area taprooms!
Look for the winners this weekend at nbabrewcomp.com
The judges were able to pick up some great merchandise including hats, shirts, taproom beer tokens, and homebrew supplies including
- new hop blends and grain samples provided by BSG HandCraft
- samples and swag from our friends at Wyeast, White Labs, RVA Yeast, Omega Yeast, Mangrove Jack’s, Lallemand, Imperial Yeast, and Five Star
