NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3400
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

As always, donors and donations are publicly acknowledged

Subject: 2009 Limbo Challenge

The North Texas Home Brewers Association will be holding the fourth annual
Limbo Challange home brew beer competition. Entries are limited to BJCP
styles of beer with a starting gravity of about 1.050 or below. Entries
are accepted until COB Friday July 31, and entry registration deadline is
July 30 2009. Specifics on the competition and acceptable beer styles can
be found at http://www.limbocomp.org/.

The Limbo Challenge is the sixth competition of the Texas Lone Star
Circuit of home brew competitions held annually. Information on the Lone
Star Circuit and all of the participating competitions can be found at
http://www.lonestarcircuit.com/.

The number of entries in the Lone Star Circuit competitions has
significantly increased in 2009. The Limbo Challenge is expecting 2009 to
be a record year. As Head Judge for the 2009 Limbo Challenge, I encourage
and request local BJCP judges to judge with us this year. First round
judging will be held on August 8, 2009. More information can be found at
http://www.nthba.org/.

Cheers,
Don Trotter
