C.A.S.K.

The CASK Officers would like to thank Matt Britton for his hard work this year as our club’s Competition Director. He has recently decided that in the best interest of the club, he is stepping down from his officer’s position to be able to put more focus in his newest life chapter as the Assistant Brewer at Bottlenose Brewing Company. With this vacancy, Mike Lentz and Jesse Johnson have graciously volunteered to serve as Co-Competition Director for the remainder of the year. Thank You gentlemen and best wishes Matt! 

Please join us this Saturday, August 14th at Fishweir Brewing Company for our August CASK meeting. The Interklub Competition this month is Kveik Beers (BJCP Cat. 18B – 21) If you would like to help judge for this competition, please arrive at 5pm. Social hour will run from 6 – 7pm with our business meeting from 7 – 8pm.

In order to begin judging on time, make sure to register your beer before Saturday’s meeting  CLICK TO REGISTER. Drop off 2 bottles before the close of business at Just Brew It Friday, August 13th, or bring your entries to the meeting promptly at 5pm. We hope to see you there! 

Well, that’s a wrap! We are excited to have held another successful First Coast Cup and so thankful to Ruby Beach Brewing Company for graciously hosting our competition this year. There are too many people to thank that helped volunteer their time and effort to pull off this huge event, but know we couldn’t have done it without each of you!

It’s always a great feeling when you win your own competition. Overall, CASK took home 10 Gold medals, 5 Silver medals, and 8 Bronze medals in the 2021 FCC. You can view the full list of medal winners here. Congratulations Everyone!
