I cannot wait to hear the names of the entries for these MLS soccer inspired beers….
“In the dark days of 2010 the Oregon Department of Justice had declared homebrew competitions illegal. A few bold brewers of the Timbers Army brought their homebrew to a tailgate and held a people’s choice competition. In 2011 the Timbers have gone MLS and the Oregon Legislature re-legalized homebrew competitions. If that’s not enough reason to celebrate, Lompoc Brewing will produce a full size batch (7 barrels) of the winning entry. (Organizers are working with other local breweries to produce the 2nd and 3rd place entries as well).
The Second Annual Timbers Army Homebrew Competition will be judged at Lompoc Sidebar Sunday August 14th, prior to the Timbers match at Houston. The winners will be announced at a tailgate prior to the match against Vancouver at home August 20th.
In order to keep the competition focused, organizers have limited it to three overarching categories: “Summer Beers,” “Pride of Cascadia,” and “Lagers.” The competition will help raise money for the Timbers Army 107 Independent Supporters Trust.”
