2021 Brewer of the Year Competition
Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2020 2:25 pm
Here are the competition styles for the 2021 Brewer of the Year competition, the turn-in dates, styles, and categories are:
January - Trappist Single (26A)
April - Schwarzbier (8B)
May - Braggot (M4A)*
July - Berliner Weisse (23A)
October - American Porter (20A)
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.
*For Braggot entries you MUST specify carbonation level (still, petillant, sparkling), Strength (hydromel, standard, sack or strong), and sweetness (dry, semi-sweet, sweet). You may optionally also include what type(s) of honey were used and/or what the base beer style is. Note that a beer with a small amount of honey is NOT a braggot.
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.
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.
