Event Description

Hey home brewers!!

Thank you for all of your patience. We had a blast with everyone a few months ago and hope that you can join us for our next round!! So without further adieu, here we go!!!

The Second Round of the Home Brew Competition will be held on Thursday, August 9 at Backstage. This is an invitation for all 12 of our Finalists to enter (1) offering... of ANY STYLE. Our esteemed judging panel will select the TOP 5 BEERS out of this field of 12. These 5 individuals will then move onto our Third and FINAL Round which will be held sometime in October. It has been determined that the beer style for the final round will be strictly a Vegetable / Fruit beer. So, plan out your entries wisely for the Second Round!!

(Note: You CAN enter a Fruit / Vegetable beer for the Second Round... and if selected in the Top 5, you will be allowed to enter that same beer in the Final Round.)

BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE!!!

If you know of anyone that missed out on the Top 12 or missed the First Round event all together... they are invited to enter our OPEN Division. Consider it like a "Play-In" Game for the NCAA Tournament. Out of these entries (again, open to ANY Style), our judges will select ONE WINNER. This individual will get the opportunity to compete against the Top 5 Brewers in the Third and Final Round !!!

Again, we are asking for (2) 12 oz bottles for each home brew entry.

So here's a recap:

Drop-off home brew entries: Wednesday, August 8th btw 6pm-8pm

Second Round Judging: Thursday, August 9th @ 6pm

Second Round style: All Styles

Final Round date: October TBD

Final Round style: Vegetable / Fruit

In addition, our good friend Marty from Sierra Nevada will also be joining us again!! That's right... Sierra Nevada Tap Takeover!! Last time we had some GREAT things on draft, and this time is no different!! Check out this lineup:

ALL FOUR Beer Camp Beers: Oatmeal Stout, Imperical Red Ale, Imperial Pilsner, Floral IPA
Tumbler
Torpedo
Pale Ale
Ovila Dubbel
Ovila Golden

AND what would be a Home Brew / Tap Takeover Event without the guys from the CT Beer Trail. There's so much happening in the Craft Beer world in CT!! Find out the latest happenings and if you haven't yet, sign up for the TRAIL BLAZERS CLUB!! 10% off the entire check!**

So get those entries ready and we hope to see you all come out on August 9th!! If you have any question, feel free to call 860.489.8900

Sincerely,

The Backstage Crew

Comment by HomeBrew Hunter on August 10, 2012 at 9:21am: How was the event? When can we see the results?

Comment by Backstage on August 8, 2012 at 9:04am: We would LOVE to have you on Thursday, but the important thing is to get your entries in Wednesday btw 6pm-8pm. If you can't make it Thursday, we will notify all of the entries of the results and of course, check back on the CT Beer Trail as well.

Comment by Bryon Turner on August 8, 2012 at 5:31am: According to Chris they, "... will be putting the Sierra Nevada beers on wed, but the actual TTO will be on Thurs.. Also, bad news, they had problems with over carbonation on the Ovila Golden. They had to return to the brewery..."

Comment by Heath Gelinas on August 7, 2012 at 11:12pm: I hope we don't have to be there because I can't make Thursday night!

Comment by Jay Daigle on August 7, 2012 at 8:20pm: Do we have to be there on Thursday when the judging takes place?

Comment by Backstage on August 7, 2012 at 4:29pm: The Sierra Nevada TTO will only be on Thursday, Mike. But they'll stay on until they kick!

Comment by Mike Patient on August 6, 2012 at 7:00pm: Will the tap takeover also be on the Wednesday entry deadline as well?

Comment by Backstage on August 2, 2012 at 3:17pm: Hey Mike! Glad you can make it!

To give everyone a fair shot, we're limiting each person to (1) entry. But, if you make the top 5 in Round Two, and your other beer is in the Fruit / Vegetable style, perhaps you can enter that one then!

Comment by Mike Patient on August 2, 2012 at 12:16am: Is it possible to submit two beers, or are we limited to just one this time around? I'm so torn between two different styles to submit
