The Semiannual Franklin Cup Homebrew Competition.

This competition consists of two rounds. The 1st will be a members-only sanctioned comp held during the Friday of Big Brew at RiverPark campground. The second will be open to all homebrewers, and will be held on the second Saturday of November at Depot Street Brewing.

Please support the competition and enter en masse. Your beers will be judged by a combination of BJCP Qualified judges, experienced judges, and novice judges. All judge teams will consist of at least one BJCP judge, and the judges will provide you with a good, honest evaluation of your beer, with recommendations on how to improve it. That is, after all, the main purpose of a homebrew competition. If you are interested in becoming a judge, but have no experience, we can pair you with experienced judges to get you started, so go ahead and register.

Entries and Judge/Steward registrations are online only ... Comp Registration. See that site for all rules and instructions.
