AZ Mead Cup 2011

Competition Committee Comment by Barry Weeg on March 30, 2011 at 6:38pm

I have to agree with Kevin. I know there were a few more on the beer side, but for meads, I only had 4 BJCP judges out of a total of 13 that judged for me over both days. One could only judge for one day and one came in from Maryland! There are 28 BJCP judges in the state of Arizona. Now, I don't expect to see all 28 at every competition, but there should be more than the half dozen or so we had last weekend. Where have they gone?

I'd also point out how few judges and stewards there were. Extra kudos to those members who were there to help out with the insane amount of entries we received. I think Barry's right that AZ has never had that many entries for a competition. For as many BJCP judges we have in this club, we shouldn't have struggled like we did...just my opinion.

I just want to give a shout out to all  AZ Mead Cup Committee members who worked so hard for the last 6 months to put this event together. I hope all the judges & stewards had a good time & hopefully learned a little more about mead & cyder. I believe this was the largest mead judging event & beer judging event ever in the state of AZ. We banged out 68 meads & 260+ beers in 2 days. Good job, thanks judges, we couldn't have done it without you. Not a bad first event for the new Clubhouse,too.

Prost, Barry

I spoke to Chef Josh @ Atlas Bistro this afternoon & we were thinking about having a little nosh after Saturdays judging either at the new Clubhouse or down the sidewalk at AZ Wine. He would put together a cheese & meat platter for the judges & sterwads for about $5. a head, anyone interested?

Hey ASH'ers have you contacted Sonja yet? We need your help with this event, even if you have never judged a mead or beer before. We will use you as a steward, which is the best job in the house. You get to try all the beers but only have to try the best ones if you want. A steward, assists the judges by bringing them the beer from the cellarmaster as needed & collect the scoresheets for the Competition Director. I will bet you a beer, you will make better beer or mead after attending the AZ Mead Cup.

If you are saying, "I don't know how to judge" we will teach you by pairing you with an experienced judge or two to show you the ropes. It's fun & you will learn from some of the most experienced judges in the state. Give it a try, you will be glad you did.
