Come to Vermont for your FREE UNOB Tee!

We're announcing the first ever United Nations of Beer delegation! Anybody and everybody is welcome.

The location is the Vermont Brewers Festival, in Burlington, VT, USA. The festival runs from July 20th-21st, so there's plenty of time for you to plan ahead. Click here to see the website.

As an added incentive, we'll provide EXCLUSIVE VBFest UNOB T-shirts to everybody who joins the Delegation. (Please note that you'll have to inform us at least three weeks in advance to qualify for your T-shirt. Numbers strictly limited, first-come first-served.)

If you're interested, please let us know NOW -- booking your ticket ahead of time will save you $6 each ($25 on the door or $19 for a group booking in advance!).

Can't make it to Vermont? Fear not. Just find a local festival you want to attend, email us the details and we'll arrange a free ticket for you in return for a festival report and pictures.

Welcome to our new Delegates

It's been another good month for new Delegates, with Canada in particular receiving the benefit of new contributors.

First up comes the curious story of Emily Urquhart, our Newfoundand and Labrador Beer Guide. Ash heard a letter of hers read out on the popular weekend radio show The Vinyl Cafe and got in touch. Emily hopes to bring more people into the guide -- great to have you aboard, Emily!

From the Newfie coast to the praries we go, introducing Darrell Billesburger, the first Beer Delegate in our Saskatchewan beer guide. Hi Darrell!

Struggling under the weight of Quebec's burgeoning brewing industry, Ash advertised for more local Delegates for the Quebec beer guide. We were delighted to hear from John Breese and D'Arcy Gray, who have been very active already. Bonjour, boys.

Just this week, our Alabama beer guide launched, with two great Delegates, "Moaning" Mike Monin and Matt "Fiddler" Dodson. Welcome guys.

Finally, we launched our Michigan beer guide, hiring three Delegates, Ed Glass, Drew Storing and John Smiddy. Brilliant start, people, thanks.

Sorry to all those Delegates-in-waiting who are still yet to be hired. We have a Russia Delegate who will also contribute to the Quebec guide, plus Wisconsin and Massachusetts to launch.

I'll make formal announcements on these Delegates-in-waiting as soon as there's time to add them to the site. Welcome to you all and thanks for volunteering your services.
