1ST ANNUAL LOUISIANA STATE HOMEBREW COMPETITION!

Big thanks to Jeremy (AKA The Beer Buddha) for bringing this to my attention!  It appears that Aaron over at Brewstock is organizing a large homebrew competition for Louisiana and neighboring states.  Awesome!  I'll be certain to enter a few of my beers and I'm sure most of the Brasseurs A La Maison club will as well.  

Here are the details:
