Upcoming Homebrew Competitions

In an effort to increase our club’s participation in the Brewer of the Year series of homebrew competitions, throughout the season, including the summer, we will send out reminders to members of upcoming contests with dates for registration and shipping.

While you’re responsible to register and pay for your own entries, the club will cover the shipping costs for paid members – our Homebrew Competition Coordinator will organize group shipping of entries.
