June 2023 MASH Monthly Update

Monthly Meeting: Tuesday, June 20th at 7:30 pm at Fort Nonsense Brewing, 220 Franklin Road, Randolph, NJ, 07869


Join us on Tuesday, June 20th at 7:30 pm at Fort Nonsense Brewing in Randolph. We’ll be holding the June Club Only Competition! Competitors received ingredients from the club to brew with, so that the beers will all stem from a similar starting point. Come out to taste their results and find out what the volunteer brewers created.For those competing, we encourage you to bring extra bottles to the meeting to submit to the upcoming State Fair competition in July.  

Muling for State Fair
MASH will continue to 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. To facilitate that for the upcoming State Fair event, we recommend bringing entries to the June meeting, where we can coordinate volunteers for muling. The drop-off window is Friday 6/23 to Saturday 7/8 so this helps us get entries in. 

As always, 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 [email protected].



Get Your Beer Judged by a BJCP Judge
MASH’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.
