3*rd* Annual SoHum Beer Fest & Smoke Off At Mateel This Saturday, August 20th

      This Saturday, August 20th, more than 10 local grill masters, a handful of home brewers, and virtually every brewery in Humboldt and Mendocino Counties (plus a few from beyond) will face off at the 3rd annual SoHum Beer Fest & Smoke Off.  Hosted by the Mateel Community Center in Redway, this popular BBQ and beer competition features live music and offers attendees a chance to sample tasty BBQ and brews and vote for their favorites, with prizes and bragging rights awarded to the top three winners in each category. 

      The doors open at 4pm and the fun starts immediately with BBQ samplers and beer tasters.  Complimentary BBQ samplers are included with the price of admission and will be served throughout the day until gone (so come early and hungry!).  Those purchasing the beer ticket will receive a commemorative tasting glass and unlimited tasters of local favorites, specialty beers, and homebrews.

   The talent schedule will also kick off at 4pm and will include the country rock sounds of SoHum Girls, the southern-fried blues and funk of Crossroads at 5:40, and the alternative bluegrass of The Bucky Walters at 7:30. 

      Admission is at the door only and is a steal at only $12 for the BBQ and music ticket or $20 with unlimited beer tasters and a commemorative tasting glass.  MCC will also be offering full BBQ plates and a variety of traditional side dishes, desserts, and refreshments for purchase.

      Sign ups are still being accepted and those interested to get on board as a BBQ or homebrew contestant should call the Mateel office ASAP at 923-3368.  BBQ contestants must provide their own BBQ, ingredients, and serving utensils, plus make enough of their dish to offer samplers to a crowd of about 200 people.  Home brewers must provide keg or bottled beer samples (also to a crowd of 200) and are responsible for serving their product during the event.  All BBQ and home brew contestants will receive two free passes to the event in exchange for their participation, plus get the chance to win some great BBQ/ beer related prizes and Mateel swag. 

      For more information visit www.mateel.org or call 923-3368 and don’t miss all the fun, food, and brew on tap at the Mateel Community Center’s 3rd annual SoHum Beer Fest & Smoke Off this Saturday, August 20th.  This event is open to 21 and over only.
