Homebrew Challenge 2023

Saturday, March 11th: Brewmaster Jon will brew up a basic wort that morning, and you will come with your own five gallon bucket to pick up your batch from 11-11:30am. (Please bring a plastic bucket--no glass, as the wort will be hot). 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 10th-Wednesday, April 12th: Bring your beer back to the brewery in growler/bottle form, as Brewmaster Jon and some of his cronies will be judging the beers on Thursday, April 13th. You must also bring your recipe with you so they can judge the beer correctly according to style. 

Saturday, April 15th: Enjoy a hangout in the Copper State lounge from 11am-2pm with your fellow homebrew friends. Feel free to bring more samples along as there will be lots of sharing, tasting, and toasting happening. The winner will be announced around noon. 

Registration:

Spots are limited, so you must register. Tickets are $35 per beer entry (if you'd like to split your beer into two separate flavors and submit both, it will be $35 per beer).

The Prize:

The homebrewer deemed the best at his/her craft will be crowned the winner and will get to brew that 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.
