Homebrewer Rules

Homebrewer Competition Guidelines

Each entry needs to be at least 5 gallons.
Do not over serve patrons, a sample should not be more then 4oz. We are planning to have between 17500-2000 people and will not have enough if full beers are served.
When registering your beer, the details you provide about your beer will ensure your entry is placed in the correct category and judged accordingly. If you put your beer in the wrong category that is on you.
You are not allowed to sell alcohol at this event and you will be removed and not allow back if you do so.
Near the conclusion of the festival, winners in each category will be announced and scoresheets will be made available to the home brewers. This is a blind competition.
There will be a Judge’s choice prize, the 1st and 2nd place in each style category, and a People’s Choice (this is the only judging that will be done the day of) which the winner will take home the coveted flannel jacket!
