We used their 7 ounce cups last year (800 = $40) and 10 ounce cups this year (1000 = $60) with good results. I thought we had used the 7 ounce this year, but looking at the leftovers.... I prefer the 7 ounce, which are similar to the "flavor wheel" cups. Personally, I prefer to avoid the shorter "wide mouth" style cups -- I keep getting my nose wet. :-0 John W.

The BUZZ OFF will again serve one of the Qualifying Events for the Masters Championship of Amateur Brewing (MCAB). Winners in 18 subcategories will qualify to enter in the MCAB national championship round in early 2000. See the MCAB website for more details at: http://brew.oeonline.com/mcab/. The BUZZ OFF (http://www.voicenet.com/~rpmattie/buzzoff/) is also the home of the Pennsylvania Club Challenge and the final leg of the Delaware Valley Homebrew of the Year competition. The Iron Hill Brewery is in Downtown West Chester, a nice little town to walk around in with several excellent restaurants. Of course we expect to have activities that will include the other breweries in the area such as Victory. Entries (three bottles) are due at Beer Unlimited, Rts 30&401, Malvern, PA 19355 by June 19th. The fee is $5 per entry. One entry per sub-category. Beer must be brewed by the entrant(s) in their homes; no beers brewed on commercial premises. Questions about entries should be addressed to Mike Cleveland at Beer Unlimited (610) 889-0905. Additional information about the BUZZ OFF can be obtained from the BUZZ web site or by emailing Beer Unlimited at BrewIPA at aol.com. We're looking for judges and stewards. Judging is to start at 9am on both Saturday and Sunday; participants should be present ½ hour early. If you are interested in judging or stewarding, please contact Bob Thomas (rwthomas at chesco.com) at (610) 647-6567. Additional questions can be directed to the Competition Organizer of the Buzz Off, Chuck Hanning (hanning at voicenet.com) at (610) 889-0396. --Next_Part_SYNC12496EFEE--
