The DC State Fair is back on September 28, taking place on Barrack's Row.  Please follow the link to the signup form for the homebrew competition.  There will be winners in each of the 5 categories, as well as an overall Best of Show winner.  Bluejacket, Right Proper, and Franklin's have already signed on to donate prizes and we expect more local businesses/breweries to donate as well.  The contest requirement is two bottles dropped off at Meridian Pint by September 13.  Please note you must live in DC to enter the competition.  While local ingredients are not required, if two beers are tied or very similar, preference will be given to the one with local ingredients. Note that this is not a BJCP or DC Homebrewers Club event.
