Entry Registration is Open

This competition is BJCP sanctioned and open to members of the Brisbane Brewers Club ONLY.

All entries must submitted at drop-off location the day of the entry deadline.

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 mis-categorised entries, 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. The average of the scores will rank each entry. Each flight will have at least one BJCP judge.

Brewers are not limited to one entry in each category but may only enter each subcategory once.

Bottles will be available to collect after the comp, and will be available at the club meeting following the comp only. Anything left will be given away/disposed of after that meeting.

Entry Acceptance Rules

Each entry will consist of capped or corked bottles that are void of all identifying information, including labels.

Printed caps are allowed, but must be blacked out completely.

750ml brown glass or PET bottles are preferred; however, green and clear glass will be accepted. Swing top bottles will likewise be accepted as well as corked bottles. 500ml bottles will be accepted but you wear the risk if there is not enough in the event of a bos round.

Use of carb caps is at your own risk, these will not be returned

Bottles will be available to collect after the comp, and will be available at the club meeting following the comp only. Anything left will be given away/disposed of after that meeting.

All entries must be labelled using the labels which can be printed from within your account on this website. Please attach labels with clear tape, and tape both sides of label to avoid damage from condensation.

Please fill out the entry forms completely. Be meticulous about noting any special ingredients that must be specified. Failure to note such ingredients may impact the judges' scoring of your entry. Brewers are not limited to one entry in each category but may only enter each subcategory once.
