Homebrew Battle for the Pro-Am v IMBĪB Custom Brews
Overview
This homebrew competition is open to homebrewers in Northern Nevada and will focus specifically on picking winner(s) who will collaborate with our brewery to submit an entry to the Great American Beer Festival’s Pro-Am competition. The competition is open for entries to the categories below. We are limiting the categories to encourage competition in the beer styles that our brewery has come to be known for.
• Category 23 – European Sour Ale
• Category 24 – Belgian Ale
• Category 25 – Strong Belgian Ale
• Category 26 – Trappist Ale
• Category 28 – American Wild Ale
• Category 33 – Wood Beer
• Category 34 – Specialty Beer (using one of the previous categories as a basis)
Timeline
Entries are due by March 23, 2018. The judging will occur on March 25 and will be a closed event only open to judges and stewards. Winner(s) will be announced on March 26. We recognize that this is a short timeline and expect that entries will consist of beers that have already been brewed/aged. We will conduct this competition again in the future so you should start brewing your sour/wild stuff now for next year!
Winners
As this competition is only open to specific categories, many of which require long-term aging, we will select 1-2 winners based on the specific aging-time of each beer for possible submission as a pro-am entry to GABF in either 2018 or 2019. This means that if the overall winning beer requires more time than possible to submit to the 2018 GABF then we may select a second winning beer that could be produced in a shorter timeline for the 2018 submission. We would then focus on brewing the overall winning beer for submission to the 2019 GABF competition to ensure adequate aging time.
