BJCP Category 16 (Belgian & French Ales) Club Competition

It's time to brew up something funky for summer! The winner of the Brown Ale Competition picked Belgian and French Ales for the next club competition. This is BJCP Category 16 under the 2004 Style Guidelines. Brew a Witbier, Belgian Pale Ale, Saison, Biere de Garde, or Belgian Specialty Ale in time for tasting in August. Regardless of what you brew, it will be judged in one of those sub-categories.

The same competition rules apply as always:

The beer must be ready to drink by the August 2008 BFD meeting at Bert and Harriet Bingel's house. It must be labelled with the brewer’s name and submitted in one of the following containers: 2 12 oz. bottles, 1 22 oz. bottle, or 1 container with at least 22 ounces of beer (i.e. growler, plastic soda bottle, etc.).

Contact any of the members of the Competition Committee (Todd, Phil, Billy K., Bill R. or Mary) if you have any questions.
