Upland in Bloomington is having another party! :beer2 They tend to throw a good one...

Besides their UpCup Homebrew Contest, Upland is also hosting a AHA Rally the same day on Sat., May 19. To take part, you need to be an AHA member or sign up at a reduced rate there.

I'm going to drive up and stay the night (note: the nearby Marriott Courtyard is SOLD OUT). I can fit three more in my wife's car. SIGN UP HERE IF YOU WANT TO GO! If someone else want's to go and has a bigger car, I'll happily drive it there or back. We won't need to leave until around 1 pm. It takes about 2.5 hours to get there but they are an hour ahead [insert dumbass Indiana comment here].

UpCup festivities, including the announcement of the winner, VIP tours, and lots of great food and beer, begin at 5 pm on Saturday, May 19 at the Bloomington Banquet Hall (on the Brew Pub grounds, 350 W. 11th St., Bloomington, IN).

If you are interested in entering the homebrew contest:


How do you enter the competition?
• Send two bottles of your homebrew and $5 entry to

I would like to go; will split the gas and also the hotel room if you wish.

I will supply the earplugs to dampen my snoring......maybe extra pairs for the adjacent rooms ;-)

I just found out that if you are not an AHA member and don't want to sign up, you can participate (ie drink beer and eat food) for a $10 donation to a charity Upland has chosen.

I've still got space for two more people in the wife's car. I booked a room at the Bloomington Travelodge. I'm sure they have plenty of room and it's around $100 for a two bed room.
