The Silver Gulch Brewing and Bottling Company received the entries and allowed us to judge the beers there We would like very much to thank them for providing this essential logistical support for the E.T. Barnette Homebrew Competition. To: Glenn, Sunifa, Dan, and Glenn's mom a Big THANK YOU!!!

We would very much like to thank to all of the organizations and businesses listed above for their support of the 2001 E.T. Barnette Homebrew Competition!!! Your support has made this competition a success!

This year is the first time we had an official steward. He was a welcomed addition to the competition and was a great help in keeping things running smoothly. He wanted to find out about judging and discovered all too well that watching the judging of beer was only marginally more interested than watching paint dry. Thanks for helping out and enduring the boredom.

Last and certainly not least I would like to thank my wife, Chérie, for all the help in making this competition a success!!

She was once again the prize goddess. She was the competition registrar and helped out as steward. Chérie was the logistical coordinator for this event. Things ran smoothly because of her.

Chérie was VERY patient when I "whined" about various aspects of the competition such as needing judges etc.

Chérie made the competition a success and did all these things and more because she loves me and likes the homebrewing community.

She's done all this and she doesn't even like beer or mead!
