Rules

This competition is AHA/BJCP sanctioned and open to any amateur homebrewer age 21 or older.

All mailed entries must be received at the dropoff location by the entry deadline.

All entrants must be current members of Tennessee Valley Homebrewers. All other entries will be rejected.

All entries will be picked up from drop-off locations the day of the entry deadline.

All drop off entries must be received at the designated locations. Please pay attention to any specific time slots available.

Special considerations may be made on a case by case basis for entries arriving later than the entry deadline provided the entries are entered and paid by the entry deadline. To make accomodations, you must contact the competition organizer.

All entries must be handcrafted products, containing ingredients available to the general public, and made using private equipment by hobbyist brewers (i.e., no use of commercial facilities or Brew on Premises operations, supplies, etc.).

The competition organizers are not responsible for miscategorized entries, entries that are not received by the entry deadline, or entries that arrived damaged.

The competition organizers reserve the right to combine styles for judging and to restructure awards as needed depending upon the quantity and quality of entries.

Qualified judging of all entries is the primary goal of our event. Judges will evaluate and score each entry in accordance with the 2021 BJCP Style Guidelines. The average of the scores will rank each entry in its category. Each flight will have at least one BJCP judge.

The competition committee reserves the right to combine categories based on number of entries. All possible effort will be made to combine similar styles. All brews in combined categories will be judged according to the style they were originally entered in.

The Best of Show judging will be determined by a Best of Show panel based on a second judging of the top winners.

Bottles will not be returned to entrants.
