In the absence of X5 NZ Pilsener in the list, do you think it would be acceptable to enter one under 2A International Pale Lager?

Competitions / Announcing Garden County Brewe...

Last post by Water_Wolf - April 15, 2025, 11:53:20 PM

We are announcing Garden County Brewers upcoming 'Lawnmower Beer' competition which will take place on the 7th of June. For this competition we want you to brew your best lower ABV summer beer that can be enjoyed in the sun, with or without your lawnmower!

This will be a BJCP judged competition and you can enter any of the beer styles listed below. The only additional rule is that you should aim to have your beer at 4.5% ABV or below - you may get marked down if the judges detect your beer as being overly boozy!

The location is to be confirmed but it will be in the Bray area. Entry price is €10 for your first entry and €5 for any additional entries you make. Limited to 3 entries per person. To make things a bit simpler for us, the competition is only open to entrants from the island of Ireland. We will provide information on prizes and the entry website soon.

So get brewing and pass the word around (as we haven't left you much time!) Any judges and helpers are welcome on the day!
