SWELL SWILL

Saturday
4:20 - 5:30 p.m. In the Mess Hall

The rules:

• • You may make up your own rules as you see fit (just be ready to explain them).

  • Enter as many beers as you wish.

  • Please try to bring at least 2 bottles of each entry so there is enough for all the judges.

  • Please try to have them near ideal temperature at contest time*

  • Ideally Beers should have an assigned beer style (see guide below).

  • Beer judges will be chosen based on their lack of knowledge of beer styles.

*Beer writer Michael Jackson proposed a five-level scale for serving temperatures: well chilled (45 °F) for "light" beers (pale lagers); chilled (46 °F) for Berliner Weisse and other wheat beers; lightly chilled 48 °F) for all dark lagers, altbier and German wheat beers; cellar temperature (55 °F) for regular British ale, stout and most Belgian specialities; and room temperature (59.9 °F) for strong dark ales (especially trappist beer) and barley wine.
