Right now, the Boston Beer Company (Samuel Adams Beer) is sponsoring The LongShot American Homebrew Contest. Visit this url for all the details: http://www.samueladams.com/promotions/LongShot/

Currently, the Boston Beer Company has a great series of free videos at the Samuel Adams website: http://www.samueladams.com/promotions/LongShot/video.html. These videos are perfect for newcomers. The contest will end soon, so I don’t know if they will continue to host the videos. Watch them while you still can!
