July 2023 MASH Monthly Update

Monthly Meeting: Tuesday, July 18th at 7:30 pm at
Four City Brewing
55 S Essex Ave, City of Orange, NJ 07050
Join us on Tuesday, July 18that 7:30 pm at Four City Brewing in Orange. Bring your homebrew to share and discuss. We’ll also open up Competition Scoresheet Investigation (CSI) for anyone who has entered a recent competition. Bring your scoresheet and a couple of bottles of your entry to share and our crew of talented judges will be on hand to discuss the feedback you received.If you signed up for our October Porter Book Club and Club-Only Competition, the Porter book will be available to pick up at the meeting.
Perks for Being a MuleReminder that that MASH will pay a set per-entry reimbursement to any club member for each entry (besides their own) that they mule to a competition drop-off point on behalf of other club members. Just snap a photo of the entries you are dropping off and send the photo, competition name, and members you are dropping off on behalf of to mashnewjersey@gmail.com.
Get Your Beer Judged by a BJCP JudgeMASH’s own Paul Jones has re-created a site for us to anonymously evaluate your homebrews. One of the perks of being a MASH member is having access to a long list of accomplished BJCP judges. If you would like some anonymous and objective feedback on your beer, go to RateMyHomebrew and register your beer (or cider or mead). Your entry will be assigned a random number for you to label your bottle. Then bring the bottle to the next MASH meeting for one of our judges to take home and complete a scoresheet for you.
