Rules

This competition is AHA sanctioned and open to any amateur homebrewer age 21 or older.

We will be accepting beer, cider, and mead entries this year

All shipped entries must received at the shipping location by the entry deadline - please allow for shipping time.

All entries will be picked up from drop-off locations the day of the entry deadline.

All entries must be handcrafted products, containing ingredients available to the general public, and made using private equipment by hobbyist brewers (i.e., no use of commercial facilities or Brew on Premises operations, supplies, etc.).

The competition organizers are not responsible for mis-categorized entries, mailed entries that are not received by the entry deadline, or entries that arrived damaged.

The competition organizers reserve the right to combine styles for judging and to restructure awards as needed depending upon the quantity and quality of entries.

Qualified judging of all entries is the primary goal of our event. Judges will evaluate and score each entry. The average of the scores will rank each entry in its category. Each flight will have at least one BJCP judge, (and most cases there wil be two or three.) The top scoring beers from categories where therer are 7 or more entries will advance to a Mini Best of Show round where the the top three finishers will be identified by the most senior BJCP judges we have available.

Brewers are not limited to one entry in each category but may only enter each subcategory once.

The competition committee reserves the right to combine categories based on number of entries. All possible effort will be made to combine similar styles. All brews in combined categories will be judged according to the style they were originally entered in.

The Best of Show judging will be determined by a Best of Show panel who will judge the first place winners from each category

Bottles will not be returned to entrants.
