Stout Competition Winner Pro-Am Now Available On Tap At Pagosa Brewing!

Pagosa Brewing Co is continuing its tradition of having February as Stout Month. Here you can find a fun variety of Stouts to taste throughout entire month, with new Stouts from all over the state (and beyond) coming on tap. Currently they have five or six different Stouts on tap to choose from. (I have been enjoying the Velvet Merkin from Firestone Walker in CA, personally.) One highlight is the Pro-Am brew from the winner of the Stout homebrew competition held in January. Our very own Matt DeGuise took the gold and had a chance to brew his recipe with Pagosa Brewing Co, and now it is on tap for you to taste! Here is the official release from Pagosa Brewing Co: 
 
NEW STOUT ON-TAP TODAY...
"Steep & Deep" - Dry Black Stout. Served on Nitro giving it a great creaminess, which contrasts nicely with the roasted flavors. Created by Matt DeGuise who won our Inaugural Homebrew Stout Competition. Congrats to Matt!  Stop by for a pint or mug.

Cheers ~

Ska Brewing Pro-Am competition

Greetings all!

I am writing to see what level of interest out there this receives...so I will get to the point.

If you have or have not heard, Ska Brewing has decided not to run their homebrew competition this year for their Pro-Am event.  They have however said that if someone else (the homebrew club) runs a competition, they will brew the beer and enter it in to the GABF Pro-Am category.  The other change is that they are going to brew it on their pilot system and have it on their tap line this year (was in bombers in years past), as their new seasonal stout has taken some more space there.

The Animas Alers club here in Durango is excited about the prospect of having a competition to determine the Pro-Am entrant, and we feel like this is a great opportunity to feature a homebrewer from the Four Corners area.  I know that Pagosa Brewing has an entry in the Pro-Am, but I am not certain about Cortez or New Mexico.  Regardless, it is another chance to enter!

Please forward this to friends/clubs and respond as we want to know the interest of homebrewers in the area.  We are looking for interest in entry and assistance in a judging panel.  Ska will also assist in judging.

If homebrewers are interested in this, please let me know soon, as we would like to make an announcement and get the information posted on-line ASAP!!  Thanks!!   Please respond to:  animas.alers@gmail.com

Cheers!
