It appears as though Indy will be hosting a NHC first round site again next year. This was posted on the FBI Facebook page by Sandy Cockerham;
Sending this out to the collective hive in the Indianapolis metro area. We are having one of the NHC first round competitions here. Our two possible dates are the earliest weekend, (March 11-12) or the final weekend of first round, (April 15-16). An early flight on on Sunday morning could be a possibility each of those weekends but we would try to avoid that if we can.
Well, we had a spot but it fell through. Now we are seeking alternate locations that won't cost an arm and a leg and who won't require us to use their catering (unless it is tasty food at very reasonable prices.) So, PM me if you know of spots. Catholic, Episcopal or Orthodox churches with kitchens and gymnasiums are viable options. Obviously beer has to be able to be there so that knocks out certain spots. We need the space to have walk in cooler space or the availability of us to bring a refrigerated truck up close to the entrance. Tables and chairs on site would be a plus.
I'm just putting this out to brainstorm. I would like to get all the ducks in a row before January if at all possible. We want to get the dates out there so that I can fill the judge rosters with BJCP judges!
Note: probably need to seat a max of 65-75 judges at the most. Can't be a loud place and shouldn't have lots of aromas to mess with the judges' noses. Any breweries that think they can pull that off would be our first choice, but I'm open to all options.
