Then we have something extra special for you!!! We are proud to present the Great Eastern Bragrfull! What the heck is a Bragrfull? Bragrfull is best translated as "best cup"; it refers to part of a Scandinavian drinking ritual where the best libations were shared in ceremony, absent of the usual feasting and raucous celebration. What does it mean for you? Brewers and vintners get a raw deal in A&S. Often they aren't included at all because of site rules or age restrictions. Similarly, they might be lumped in with general cooking or forced to compete against cocktails. Vinters, brewers, this is your time to shine. Bring or send your best brew(s). Our judges will do their thing and name the Harbinger of Ægir. Rules: Entries must not be of a dangerous or hallucinogenic nature (methanol, wormwood, etc.) Entry descriptions should include the alcohol type and brewing method, special methods or formulations, and approximate strength. Tell us anything and everything you think will help us understand your craft. After the contest, entrants and those interested in learning the craft are encouraged to participate in a round-table discussion to share techniques, stories, recipes and anything else that might encourage the growth of a thriving community of brewers and vintners in our Kingdom. Last, but certainly not least, the bragrfull will also include a bottle swap. Those who enter are encouraged to bring as many extra bottles as they would like to trade for competing deliciousness. Judges: For anyone interested in being a judge - get in touch with me. Please note that I will not be demanding ingredient lists for each entries Judges participate at their own risk for food allergies and possible overindulgence. Judges must also be of legal US drinking age by May 2012 to be considered.
