And finally, a note from the Toronto Beer Week crew regarding the 2013 Competition:

“Consider this your head’s up notice to start brewing your big beers now, and plan out your brewing schedule to have your main entry beers ready for submission by EARLY SUMMER 2013.  Why?  Because (1) TBW wants to showcase the homebrew community DURING TBW.  We need to have contest winning beers produced and on tap for TBW.  We lost an opportunity this year to do amateur tap takeovers during TBW.”
