Thursday was an early start since I had to be at the conference center by 7 AM for breakfast before judging the Final Round of the National Homebrew Competition. I’ll refer to them, plus any new friends we gained as the HBC Crew, for the sake of brevity. We’re mostly homebrew bloggers/enthusiasts that met through /r/homebrewing, and have grown close over the years. We met up with part of our online crew at the event, and sang some karaoke. As expected, it was a great warm up event for all the fun that was to follow. It was great to meet so many high ranking judges, hear their feedback to the BJCP, and give some of my own.Īfter the BJCP events, we went to Insight Brewing for the Chop & Brü Pre-Funk Party. On Wednesday I attended the BJCP Judges Reception and BJCP Members Meeting. We arrived in Minneapolis on the Tuesday night, which gave us time to get settled before things started on Wednesday. They are all super friendly and happy to meet you, you just have to work up the courage to say hi!

The thing that keeps people coming back every year is the opportunity to catch up with the friends you made last year, and to make new ones. Ask almost anyone what their favourite part of the conference is, and they will say THE PEOPLE. ![]()
