2020 Brewer of the Year Competitions
Posted: Sat Nov 23, 2019 9:18 am
Here are the competition styles for the 2020 Brewer of the Year competition, the turn-in dates, styles, and categories are:
January - Irish Extra Stout (15C)
April - Red IPA (21B)
May - Traditional Mead (M1, all variants: A, B, or C)
July - Cream Ale (1C)
October - Wheat Wine (21B)
Turn-ins are at the respective monthly membership meetings unless special arrangements are made in advance. Judging will follow as soon after as possible.
Each entry must accompanied by a completed AHA/BJCP Bottle Identification Form. The essential data required are name, phone number, Email Address, Name of Beer, Category Entered, and Subcategory Entered. Additional information may be required as specified by the style (which is the case for a Winter Seasonal and other styles).
Please attach the AHA/BJCP Bottle Identification Form by wrapping the form around the bottle and securing it with a rubber band. A good practice is to place the form in a small ziplock bag prior to attaching it to the bottle, so that if the bottle sweats, it will not damage the form. Please DO NOT glue or tape the forms to your entries.
NEW for 2020: If you would like to have your score sheets emailed to you after the judging make sure that you include your email address on the bottle ID. While we can't guarantee it will happen we are going to try to the sheets emailed back to participants this year.
