Fair contest is one sign that state is home of brews:
While booths for the jammaking and knitting contests sat quiet, their neighbors from the fifth annual Minnesota State Fair Homebrewing Competition turned out at 9 a.m. on a Saturday to get down to business downing beers.
They had their work cut out for them: The number of entries in the contest has quadrupled since it began in 2003 to 346 beers this year.
Culminating today with a best-in-show ceremony, the competition reflects a trend that's brewing statewide.
Homebrewing is bubbling over in Minnesota. Two of the biggest homebrew supply stores in the country are based in the Twin Cities, and so are several national award-winning homebrewers.
Now, that's something worth stopping by when you're out at the Fair. Better than all that crap on a stick.
