CT Beer Trail & Cambridge House Brew Pub Home Brew Competition RULES

• Anyone may enter. All entries must be brewed at home, not in a commercial operation.

• If you are entering a beer for the first time ever in a competition, please make a note on the   entry form to inform us. Your beers will also be judged in a special novice “Best of Show” panel.

• Entry fee is $6.00 per entry. Cash fee accepted, or checks made out to Cambridge House Brew Pub Granby.

• Brewers are encouraged to enter more than one beer. There is no limit on the number of entries.

• A competition entry form must accompany each entry.

Brewers must submit three bottles for each entry. Two may be entered, but the brewer must accept that he may not have an entry for “Best of Show”  if a second bottle is needed for regular judging, (if he advances to that level or another bottle is needed for the Novice round). Bottles should be 10-16 oz with all labels removed. Caps must be plain or blacked out. Any exceptions should be brought to the   attention of the competition coordinators BEFORE they are entered. Neither swing-top nor corked bottles will be accepted.

The deadline for entries is Saturday, November 5, 2011.  The deadline has been extended to Nov 11th due to the wide spread power outages. Beers received after this will not be judged nor returned to the brewer.  Please call or email for details. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS!

• Bottle label forms must be attached to each bottle with a rubber band. NO TAPE please.

• Recipes are not necessary, but the competition organizers reserve the right to request a recipe after the competition.

• A competition entry form must accompany each entry. Multiple entries may be listed on one sheet.

• Please include a self-addressed stamped envelope to ensure rapid return of judging results.

• Awards not given to the recipients on the day of competition will be mailed.
