I made the executive decision (with SWMBOS consent) to go to NHC 2008 this year. I figured if I am going to be present at the nationals it would be awesome if I wont some sort of medal. I know I could be dreaming but it is worth a shot. I have come up with a brew schedule to have plenty of beers ready for the NHC and the Bluebonnet. Also if you want to find out more about NHC you can go to www.beertown.org
