The duo might be feeling a sense of deja vu over that gangbusters reception: Mulay’s Sausage, now a full-fledged business, is available in King Soopers stores wherever they exist. There is no charge to watch the throwing or join the public sausage tasting but we respectfully ask that you buy drinks and perhaps some food as you visit the pubs.LONGMONT - Loree Mulay and her husband Ward Weisman started selling sausages at the Fourth of July festival in Crested Butte 28 years ago as a way to make some quick cash.Īfter taking an entire day and a few cases of beer, the young couple was able to convert her Nana’s recipe into 400 sausage links to be sold at the barbecue. Even if you're not entirely sure we would welcome the opportunity to convince you that the combined talents of butchers, brewers and publicans makes for a fantastic day out! If you love the atmosphere of the Great British pub and are partial to a gourmet sausage we warmly invite you to join us. When the competition ends at 14.30 the votes are collected and counted in the New Bell Inn (aka "Sausage HQ") where the winner will be announced at 15.00. For a vote to qualify all the sausages must be scored and the fully completed voting slip returned via one of the boxes made available at the pubs. Members of the public are invited to tour the pubs, sampling sausages and soaking up the atmosphere. Each pub will have supplies of some of the anonymous sausages and a supply of voting slips. Once the throwing competition is complete the action moves to three traditional pubs - the Alma Inn, the Hanover Inn and the New Bell Inn where the sausages will be ready for the public to taste over the next couple of hours. A cricket umpire adjudicates to prevent cheating and Tendring CAMRA "Sausage Marshals" carefully measure and record each throw. The event is held next to the Hanover Inn in Harwich and is taken very seriously with a deal great of athleticism, psychology and giggling. The Producers' Throwing Competition commences at 11.00 with some warming up (of participants, not sausages) before each contender throws a "standard" raw sausage as far as they can. Prior to that the record was held by Harwich Sausage Throwing legend Nick Aldridge with a throw of 150 feet and 6 inches set in 2014. This means that the Harwich sausage throwing record stands at 171 feet, Todd Rothwell's gigantic throw in perfect conditions in 2019. Second was Rob throwing for Smith's Butchers with a throw of 112 feet and third was Carl throwing for Chas Bower with a throw of 91 feet and 6 inches. The throwing competition in 2021 was won by sausage throwing supremo Todd Rothwell lobbing for the Alma Inn with his first throw of 128 feet and 6 inches. If you missed the festival or fancy running your own mini festival at home do get out and support our fabulous Tendring butchers. The voting in 2021 was really close, with only two votes seperating first and second place, and every sausage was somebody's favourite. Second place in 2021 went to Smith's Butchers of Brightlingsea, with their hog roast sausage, and third place went to Chas Bower butchers of Holland-on-sea with their ginger and spring onion sausage. It was their first victory in the competition and Ramsey Master Butchers go on to represent Tendring in the Champion of Champions Sausage Competition in 2022. The Harwich Sausage Festival Champion for 2021 was Ramsey Master Butchers of Ramsey. The Harwich Sausage Festival Champion Sausage 2021 is the Marmite sausage from Ramsey Master Butchers.
