Monthly Style Competition Beer Registration Form:

In an effort to speed things up for our cellarmaster and ensure that your beer is judged under the correct category, we are asking brewers to pre-register their entries.

If you plan on bringing a beer for judging to the monthly style competition, please use the registration form below to indicate that you will be bringing an entry, and what BJCP category your beer should be judged under. Entries are limited to the style of the month (please see the list below for clarification for the correct category for each month).

Please be sure to bring a minimum of 64oz (6 - 12oz bottles, 3 - 22oz bombers or a 64oz growler) to ensure there is enough judging samples for approximately 30+ people.

For more information please review the competition guidelines, found here PUBS Competition Guidelines.
