Press Release


CHEESE DAYS ANNOUNCES RECIPE CONTEST

(Monroe, WI) Green County Cheese Days, New Glarus Brewing Company, Minhas Craft Brewery, and the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board are inviting bread bakers to show off their skills by entering the Cheese and Beer Bread Recipe Contest.

Recipes entered into the contest can include loaves, rolls, biscuits, pretzels, muffins, etc.
Recipes must contain a locally made cheese AND a locally made beer. Bakers are encouraged to creatively combine the two required ingredients, if necessary. For example, if your favorite soft pretzel recipe contains beer but not cheese, why not develop a cheese spread to accompany the pretzels.

Entries must be postmarked by August 13, 2010. A $3 entry fee is required. Late entries will be returned.
Ten finalists will be selected and notified by September 3, 2010. Final judging will take place on Saturday, September 18 at 11 am in the Cheese Days Hospitality Tent. Each finalist will have space to set up their cheese and beer bread for display. Theme, decorations, table coverings, etc. are welcome. Judging criteria includes visual presentation, taste, originality, and texture.

The grand prizewinner will receive $100, plus a gift basket from the sponsors. The first runner up will receive $50 and various gifts, and the 2nd runner up will receive $25.

All entries must be accompanied by the entry form. Entry forms are available at the Cheese Days Office, or downloadable from the Cheese Days website at www.cheesedays.com, or by calling 608.325.7771.
