Packing and Shipping

    Carefully pack your entries in a sturdy box. Line the inside of your carton with a plastic trash bag. Partition and pack each bottle with adequate packaging material. Please do not over pack!

Write clearly: Fragile. This Side Up. on the package. Please only use bubble wrap as your packing material.

Enclose each of your bottle labels in a small zip-top bag before attaching to their respective bottles. This way it makes it possible for the organizer to identify specifically which entry has broken if there is damage during shipment.

Every reasonable effort will be made to contact entrants whose bottles have broken to make arrangements for sending replacement bottles.

Judging Sessions

Awards

The awards ceremony will take place once judging is completed.

One or more judge pairs will evaluate your beer, judging it to the 2021 BJCP guidelines for the style you enter it has. Those same judge pairs, after judging all the beers in that category, will determine the top beer at that table. The top beer at each table will then go to the Best of Show table. Here, 3-5 high ranking BJCP judges will judge the top beers at each table and select the top 3 beers overall for the competition.

Results will be posted to the competition web site after the ceremony concludes.
