Description
In conjunction with Beaus Brewery we are holding a homebrew competition on Saturday April 14th, 2012
The grand prize winner will get to brew a batch of beer at Beaus!
It is a closed competition for Members of Barleyment only. But the general public gets to play beer judge!
This first event will be a limited competition of the following styles :
- APA / IPA - each brewer can submit one entry of either APA or IPA. Each will be judged against its own BJCP guidelines, and the highest points scored of all entires in this category will win $150 in gift certificates from Beaus. (BJCP styles 14ABC, 10A)
- Light Hybrid Ale - each brewer can submit one entry from any of the styles in this category, and each will be judged against its own BJCP guidelines, with the overall winner getting a $150 gift certificate from Beaus (BJCP 6ABCD)
- People's Choice Award - the general public will be encouraged to take part in judging beers. A person will get 2 samples from a given category and will be asked "which do you like best". The beer with the most thumbs-up will be the winner of $150 in Beaus gift certficates
OK, but who gets to brew the beer?
The top 2 winners from each of those categories will go into a Best of Show competition, to be judged according to the BJCP rules for that. And the winner of BoS gets to brew at Beaus!
OK, but what if I live in Newfoundland and win?
Beaus will gladly provide up to $500 in transportation costs to any winner who happens to be from afar. I'm sure volunteers from the MoB are good for the rest - I'll kick in $20 to start you out
So ... get brewing!
Also - we need volunteers to help! Since I'm not involved in the BJCP training, I'm going to be the main organizer. We're keeping the April event small because it is only 2 months away, and we'll need to get kinks worked out and so on. I'll need volunteers to help organize.
You guys on the BJCP training - we need you to judge! No, this first one in April won't get you BJCP points because it won't be a sanctioned event. But the annual Oktoberfest event will be. This first one is a "practice event" for us
But the winner still gets a pretty awesome prize!Let the games begin!
This is not a BJCP sanctioned event, but is to be considered a "practice run" by BJCP rules and regulations
Full rules to follow
