This was announced at the club meeting last night\, but I wanted to reiterate the details on the web site and begin to solicit beers for the selection process. Date for the event is to be determined\, but it will be sometime in March or April.
Here's the scoop\, The talented chef of the Rockyard will be preparing a 4-5 course meal inspired by and containing 4-5 homebrewed creations from RHBC members. We need to select the beer for the meal. Process for selection is simple\, please sign up below and indicate what beer you would like to offer for consideration. If we have 5 or less signed up\, those will be the beers. If we have more than 5 sign up\, at the March RHBC meeting each person signed up will bring one bottle of the beer and a tasting committee (selection of the committee to be determined) will pick the 5 beers for the dinner based on beer/food pairing options\, taste\, variety\, etc. Note\, since we're not selecting the beers until March\, you still have some time to specifically brew for the beer dinner.
If you want to offer your beer\, please be prepared that we will need a minimum of 12 / 12oz bottles\, possibly as many as 24 / 12oz bottles depending on what the chef decides to do with your beer and turnout to the dinner as your beer will be served alongside its dish. Pride and glory to those whose beers are selected. So put aside 24 / 12 oz bottles of your offered beer for the event (or a keg) and obviously if we need less it will be returned to you.
For those interested in attending the dinner\, we will have a strict cap at 24 seats for the dinner so be sure to sign up once the date is confirmed.

Jim Stinson has selected \;a Rye Pale Ale (aka RyePA) as the eligible style this year. \;
The rules are simple\, in order to qualify for selection to the Pro-Am you must place the beer in an AHA sanctioned competition. Places 1st through 3rd \;qualify. You must also be an AHA member in good standing at the time your beer places in the AHA competition and you must be an AHA member at the time that your beer is brewed for the Pro-Am. So\, basically\, if this is something you're interested in doing\, make sure you're an AHA member for 2010. \;Obviously\, you must also be an RHBC member in good standing to be selected.
Note the details for the Rye Pale Ale. It should be entered in category 6D\, American Wheat or Rye\, for a BJCP competition. Style guidelines for American Wheat and Rye can be found here\: http\://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style06.php#1d \;
Beers must place in an AHA sanctioned competition no later than mid June\, so please make note that the only Colorado competitions between now and June are Peterson\, Dreadhop\, Eight Seconds of Froth\, Left Hand/IPAlers\, and Liquid Poetry.
In mid June\, all beers of eligible brewers that placed will be submitted to Jim for the selection of the pro-am beer. So we are all clear\, selection of the pro-am beer is solely at the discretion of Jim. The taste test process for selection will be blind\, with no weight given to beers that placed higher or the scores given \;in their qualifying AHA competitions.
Below is the professional category that the beer will likely be entered under. Please make note of the lineup of the professional guidelines with the BJCP guidelines to give your beer the best chance of doing well in the pro-am if selected.
