It is with pleasure that I can announce the results of the 12th Annual BUZZ Off homebrew competition! We had 254 entries from around the country competing in 23 judging categories. Congratulations to Brian Moore for his Best of Show winning Irish Red Ale! For complete results, please visit our website http://hbd.org/buzz. Winners, please note that there might be a delay in us send out prizes. Rest assured they will go out within the next 2 weeks. Score sheets should go out this week. Finally, just a quick thank you to Chris LaPierre and the entire staff at Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant for hosting us (both the BUZZ Off and our monthly meetings) and sponsoring the Best of Show prize. Their generosity towards home brewers is unmatched and greatly appreciated.

The Commander SAAZ Interplanetary Homebrew Blastoff is an A.H.A. Sanctioned homebrewed beer and mead competition sponsored by the Spacecoast Associates for the Advancement of Zymurgy (SAAZ). Beers will be judged in accordance with 2004 BJCP style guidelines. There are two Best Of Show (BOS) awards, one for beers and one for meads and ciders. We have the coolest BOS trophy in the know universe. You can check it out on Commander SAAZ page of our website (http://www.saaz.org). Medals and prizes are awarded for individual category winners. The 2005 Rules and Minutiae are also available on our website (http://www.saaz.org). We will have electronic entries again this year as well as the option to pay via Paypal. In addition to our usual competition we've added a special category this year. The Commander SAAZ Rocket Fuel Award! The rules for the Rocket Fuel category are pretty simple. The beer must be based on a BJCP beer/mead/cider category, however, the sky's no limit as far as alcohol content. A minimum of 10% ABV is required to get the Commander's engines running though. This will be a 2 bottle entry with a fee of $5.00 per entry. So dust off that Imperial Brown Ale, or that Strong Dark Belgian Sextuple you have stashed away and see if it can help the Commander get farther, faster! The competition will be held on Saturday 23 July. Entry cutoff is Wednesday 13 July. Our President Don Ferris will be acting as head judge again this year. If anyone is interested in judging either the pre-judging (weekend of 16-17 July) or at the actual final day of competition please contact Don Ferris - Prez`at`Saaz.org. If you have any other questions please contact the competition organizer at CS2005`at`Saaz.org.
