  • 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 miscategorised entries, mailed 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.
  • Entries will not be returned to entrants.  
  • To ensure the anonymity of entrants, submit two (2) bottles/cans, 10 fluid ounces or larger (187 mL any color bottles for mead ok) with no paper or inked labels, or any other identifying or distinguishing marks on the bottle and/or can. Raised brewery lettering on imported bottles/cans or beverages with national distribution are acceptable but not encouraged.
    • Remove or blur beyond distinction any identifying marks from bottle caps. Solid color bottle caps are acceptable.
    • Caps with identifiable markings that make them unique as determined by the Judge Director with visible symbols, writing, etching, coating, etc. will be disqualified.
  • If there is any doubt that a cap is compliant, it is recommended to apply a coat of opaque black (sharpie) ink to all surfaces of the caps.
  • Qualified judging of all entries is the primary goal of our event. Judges will evaluate and score each entry. The average of the scores will rank each entry in its category. Each flight will have at least one BJCP judge.
  • The Best of Show judging will be determined by a Best of Show panel based on a second judging of the top winners.
