2010 ASH Oktoberfest Homebrew Competition
ASH holds a homebrew competition each year in conjunction with the ASH Octoberfest event. Beginning in 2010, a portion of the entry fee goes in support of The Beer for Brains Foundation founded by Louis Dolgoff of Dogfish Head. In 2010, we raised $258 for brain cancer research through entry fees.
In 2009, Dolgoff lost his wife of 30 years to an extremely aggressive form of brain cancer known as
glioblastoma multiforme - the same cancer that killed Senator Edward Kennedy. Laurie Dolgoff died
shortly after her 55th birthday – 29 months after her initial diagnosis. Dolgoff, a craft-beer industry sales
manager and event promoter for Dogfish Head Breweries, created the Beer for Brains Foundation
because of the cutting-edge care she received at Barrow Neurological Institute. Through fundraising
events like the Off-Centered Experience, Dolgoff hopes to help them find a way to extend the lifespan and
quality of life for brain cancer patients.
