Samuel Adams Longshot last call

Next Friday (May 24th) is the deadline for entering Samuel Adams Longshot American Homebrew contest.

Lots of breweries sponsor homebrewing contests and brew the winners' recipes as one-time beers for the drinking public to enjoy.

In New Jersey, Cricket Hill in Fairfield (Essex County) ended up with a great imperial stout through a contest, and Iron Hill annually provides the second running of one its biggest beers to homebrewers who compete for a chance to brew at the Maple Shade brewpub. The Tun Tavern in Atlantic City has featured winners' beers at festivals across the Garden State.

But Samuel Adams' Longshot contest is about the only competition that promises the winners national exposure.
