Entry Information
Please read about our special category for Experimental and Funky entries here. Entries in this category will support charitable efforts of our club.
Thank you for your interest in submitting entries to help Stoney Creek Homebrewers host a successful homebrew competition. Registration is done through the competition portal in the Register tab above. Below is a general guide that you will want to be aware of.
You will be able to register your entry starting September 30.
Your entry must be received, either at a drop-off location or at the mailing address by October 22.
The cost is $8 per entry.
You will need to submit 3 bottles per entry (to accommodate virtual judging and possible best in show entry). You will not have the bottles returned to you.
12oz bottles/cans are preferred. Please be sure that the bottle/can is clean and free of labels and other identifying markings.
All entries must be handcrafted products, containing ingredients available to the general public, and made using private equipment by hobbyist brewers.
It is the responsibility of the homebrewer to choose the appropriate category/style for their entry. We will be using the BJCP 2021 Style Guidelines. The competition organizers are not responsible for miscategorized entries.
Depending on the number of entries and category distribution, categories and subcategories may be combined or separated for judging and awards purposes.
Brewers are not limited to one entry in each category but may only enter each subcategory once unless otherwise specified.
Entries which do not meet these entry requirements may be disqualified.
The Best of Show judging will be determined by a qualified panel of judges and based on a second judging of the top winners from each category.
Scoresheets will be available shortly after the end of the competition.
DROP-OFF LOCATIONS

SHIPPING LOCATION
Please make sure that labels are properly fixed to your entries before packing. Be sure to take care in packaging your entries and use Ziploc bags to contain any damage that may occur during shipping. Fill the box with additional stuffing to minimize the movement during travel. All reasonable efforts will be made to contact the brewer and make accommodations if entries are received damaged.
