January 26, 2016 – This week our guest is Mike Tripka, president of the Domras Cup, held in Savannah, Georgia every year by the Savannah Brewers League.

The Domras Cup began in 1999 as a small, club-only competition between several serious local mead-makers. It quickly became a regional competition where mead-makers from coastal Georgia and South Carolina plied their wares in search of getting their name etched on the famous cup.It was fittingly named in honor of Chuck Domras, a gregarious and outgoing club member who was quite fond of mead (the making and imbibing of), who had passed away earlier that year.Now in its 18th year, the little Domras Cup Mead Competition has grown to be one of the longest, continuously-running, mead-only competitions in the world with entries received from all over the country. We are continuously looking at ways to improve the event and judging of meads. In 2012 we completed a mead judge exam with a dozen new certified mead judges in the southeast so that Domras Cup will have certified mead judges at each table.Mike Tripka and John Wilson are the organizers of the Domras Cup.New for 2016, Domras Cup is part of the East Coast Mead Competition Series and the Southeastern Homebrew Association Competition Series.In 2016, the Domras Cup is on February 6. See their website for details. Vicky will be there to judge, come say hi if you’re there!

Entries are open until January 28! Get yours in!
