Who’s eligible: 

This competition is a invitational competition, and ONLY open to amateur homebrewers age 21 or older who are active members of any Northern California, Southern Oregon and Western Nevada Homebrew Club.

Why do we limit the competition to these regional clubs? It's not that we don't want to welcome clubs from everywhere. We just made the decision to gradually grow this competition in order to learn the logistics of running a large competition. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions!

Contact our organizers Phil Menzies (phil.menzies@placerbrewers.org) or Steve Juhnke (steve.juhnke@placerbrewers.org) for more information.
