2015 Upper Mississippi Mashout Competition


Event Details


This year will be the 13th annual Upper Mississippi Mashout.

The Mashout will take place on January 23rd and 24th, 2015. For you volunteers, and if you aren’t one you really gotta get on board, the judging will be at Grumpys-Roseville again as it’s a great place with killer beer and food. We’ll be doing a lot of the really cool stuff we always do…plus a few new angles. You’ll be wined and dined like no other competition in the nation plus your standard commemorative beer and glass.

We’ll have lunchtime speakers, again, for your enjoyment. For Friday lunch, Steve Piatz talking about meads – how to make them, what to expect, etc. For Saturday lunch, Jace Marti will be chatting about sours.

The massively popular Friday night Piss-up will be back and better than ever. There will be some stuff a lot of
you guys have never tried before! As always, the ever awesome Cellar beer event will be the hallmark of the evening.

This year, the overall Best of Show beer will also have the option to have their beer brewed by Bent Brewstillery here in Roseville.

Finally, the banquet is always a great time. This year’s dinner is going to be a beer pairing dinner in conjunction with the great folks from Goose Island. Last year we were full and seats, again, are sure to sell out quickly so get your tickets ASAP. You again get a commemorative glass, meal, beers and the debauchery that follows.

So, what are the important dates?

  • Registration opens on 12 December.
  • Registration closes at the end of the day, on 31 December.
  • The Mashout happens on 23 and 24 January.
  • The banquet happens the evening of 24 January.

So, just like the election, enter early and enter often! We cap out entries at 1,000 and we’ve hit that in previous years.

See you there!
