Homebrew Competition 2024

Saturday, March 9: Brewmaster Jon will brew up a basic wort that morning (you will receive a copy of the starting wort recipe/malt bill) and you will come with your own five gallon bucket to pick up your batch from 11-11:30am. (No glass carboys please, because the wort will be hot still.) Take it home and do your own hop additions, yeast additions, and any other flavor concoctions you can dream up. Make it your own, and make it delicious.

Monday, April 8-Wednesday, April 10: Sometime during business hours, bring back your beer in growler/bottle form to be judged by Brewmaster Jon and some of his cronies. You must also bring your recipe along with you, so they can judge your beer accurately according to its style.

Saturday, April 13: Homebrew party from 11am-2pm in the Copper State lounge. Feel free to bring more samples to share with your new homebrewer friends. Winner will be announced around noon.

Registration:

Spots are limited, so you must register. Tickets are $35 per beer entry.

The Prize:

The homebrewer deemed the best at his/her craft will be crowned the winner and will get to brew their winning recipe on our 3 bbl pilot system with Brewmaster Jon and have it on tap at Copper State. Slightly less awesome prizes will be handed out for 2nd and 3rd place. No participation ribbons, but participation beers are definitely a thing.
