Competition

Post by PieOPah » Tue Dec 12, 2006 2:36 pm

I know it is quite big in America, but are there many places that have competitions for homebrewers in the UK?

In general I wouldn't say that my beers are competition worthy - except one of my stouts which is (IMHO) the best stout I have ever tasted in my life. I would have loved to get that into a competition!

Just curious about what we have available to us...

Hmmm - I might see about going to the Derby one to see what it's all about...

Hop & Grape sometimes send a leaflet about that out.

I wouldn't mind entering but I wont purport to brewing competition winning beer yet :wink: Maybe one day.

Does the competition do it in categories like the BJCP? Infact, I propose we start our own JBKHF certification program 8) :lol:

..... I believe you would have to join the Craft Brewing Association to enter, but then this is well worth doing anyway :wink:
