Homebrewers have become very vocal about our January competition, and are spreading the word like wildfire! Not only do we time it well as a preliminary run for those of you competing in Nationals, but we have an exceptional judging panel that is eclectic, constructive and extremely well-educated in the brewing industry. One of our favorite Homebrew Clubs called our Festival and Competition “the highlight” of their season, and the competitive edge and number of entries make for a challenge of the highest degree!

The AHA/BJCP Beer Styles that we include in our competition are reflective of the Festival theme and are listed below. The brewing competition is sponsored and sanctioned by the American Homebrewers Association, and the AHA guidelines will be strictly followed. For more information on specific styles and requirements, please refer to the link below for the AHA Sanctioned Competition Style Guidelines. Please note: Barleywines are included although not stated as the heading of a category in the new BJCP Guidelines.

The entry fee for this competition is $5 per entry, and the deadline for entries to reach High Point Brewing is Saturday, December 31, 2005. Please plan to ship early, as the holidays are a significant shipping challenge at this time of year! If you have shipping issues, please call and ask.

All entries should be shipped to High Point Brewing, 162C Airpark Dr. , Gypsum, CO 81637. (970) 524-1092 Please pack them well and sign the delivery release/waiver so the box will be dropped next door to our neighbors if we are not there at the right moment. We do not want your box to be held by UPS or FedEx if at all possible; we want to get it into the cooler!
