Copper Kettle Homebrew Competition Entry Window

June 8, 2016January 18, 2011 by Geoff Humphrey

Copper Kettle Brewing is hosting a homebrew competition with the best-of-show winner getting to brew their beer on our 3BBL system and serve it with us on our grand opening. In addition to entries we are seeking judges with experience to help us. This will not be an AHA sanctioned event so sorry, no BJCP points, but it will definitely be a fun event.

Right now it is an open category event for beer entries only; no meads or ciders.

We request entries limited to <9% abv since we need to have the beer ready to serve in ~8 weeks or less from brew day.

We likely won’t mandate an entry fee but will strongly request a donation since this will be a charity event. Something in the range of $3 per entry will go a long way in helping in the local community. Additional donations are also encouraged.

More info: http://www.copperkettledenver.com/CK2011HomebrewFlyer.pdf

Entry deadline: March 1, 2011.

Entry form: http://www.copperkettledenver.com/CK2011HomebrewForm.pdf

Drop off: TBD. The most likely candidates will be your local home brew shop, of course. Updates will be posted here.

Please become a fan on our facebook page. We post updates there to our blog and that will be the most up-to-date for info on the competition and eventually our opening day.

Cheers!
