Rules

This competition is AHA and BJCP sanctioned and open to any amateur homebrewer age 21 or older. Judging will be based off of the 2021 BJCP Style Guidelines and this competition is limited to categories 11 through 17 of the beer guidelines. Categories 29 through 34 will also be accpeted, provided the base beer is from categories 11 through 17. If a beer entered into one of these subcategories is not of base beer style 11 through 17, the entry will be judged, but will be disqualified from medal contention.

Entries must be shipped via a shipping carrier such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc. We are not accepting hand-delivered entries. All entries must be delivered by Friday, April 18th 2025. There will be no exceptions for damaged, delayed or late deliveries. It is your responsibility to ensure your entries are packaged appropriately to avoid breakage and that your shipper delivers them by the 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, 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. Judges have discretion to award ranks as they determine regardless of score for each category. Large flights may be combined through a mini-BOS round to award ranks. Each flight will have at least one BJCP judge.

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

The competition committee reserves the right to combine categories based on number of entries. When combining categories is necessary, similar styles and characteristics will be considered. 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 based on a second judging of the top winners.

Bottles will not be returned to entrants.
