Welcome back for another year! It is with great pleasure that The Boston Wort Processors present the Fifteenth Annual Boston Homebrew Competition. This year's competition follows in the fine tradition of brewing and judging that has been proven at our previous competitions. This competition attracts entries from many of the best brewers not only in New England but across the country and is judged by many of the founding members of the Beer Judge Certification Program. We look forward to your participation this year!
The competition will take place on Saturday, February 27, 2010 and for the first time, the Boston Homebrew Competition will be run as a charitable event with all proceeds being donated to charities.
IMPORTANT
There are two important changes from previous years:
- This year we will only accept online entries.
- Bottles must have the official entry labels (printed as part of the online entry process) attached to them
All other entries will be disqualified!
This is a BJCP Registered/Sanctioned event and we will be judging all 28 BJCP 2008 Styles for this competition! Also, as has been the case since its founding, this year's contest again will be part of the New England Homebrewer of the Year series and as in past years, will serve as the Northeast Region Qualifying Event for the Masters Championship of Amateur Brewing!
We are using the 2008 BJCP style guidelines. Please refer to http://www.bjcp.org/stylecenter.php to check the latest style descriptions and numbers. Entries will not be reclassified by judges so be sure to enter your beer/cider/mead in the proper category/subcategory.
We are accepting entries in all Beer categories as well as Ciders and Meads. Ciders and Meads will not be included in the Best of Show flight, but they will count toward the New England Cider Maker of the Year and New England Mead Maker of the Year competition series.
