Just a reminder to all brewers who have yet to enter, please Register Here.

Then contact your local club to arrange collection.

Entries close on 9th May.

Let us know, if you are bringing your entries to BrewCon 2015.

Question: I wont be able to attend the event, but would still like to enter my beer for feedback. Is it worth my while? How is the feedback given?

Cheers.

Competitions are a good way to receive objective feedback on your beer, they are held in controlled envirnoments with anonymous judging; so subjective factors, like sitting in front of you saying your beer has a problem doesn't become personal.

The competition will be judged & run to BJCP standards. The feedback will be similar to these BJCP Exam Sheet examples (See Modern Tasting Exam Scoresheets at the bottom of the page).

We hope to get the scoresheets scanned & made available within a week or so of the exam.

There is no need to attend the competition, you just need to Register Here & get your entries to us.

How to get your bottles to us?

All the NHC clubs are generously acting as collection points for the competition. Please contact them to arrange delivery of your entries to them. Click Here for your local club.

When you say final date of entries is 9th of may,  does that mean the bottles have to be dropped off by then?

No, you just need to have them Registered Here by this Saturday 9th May.

We will then arrange to collect your entries from your local club in the following week or so.

If you're going to BrewCon this Saturday, bring them along (with the labels and entry fees attached).

Went to my junk folder so I must have missed them, cheers!

I'm not going to brewcon but can I still drop the beers in?

It's not to late to buy a ticket.

Make sure they are marked for our attention with labels & fees attached (make sure they're packed securely, no visible fees).

Hey folks I paid for three entries but I'll only be submitting one (the pale). Can I offer the other two spots to anyone that wants them. Seems like a waste otherwise. If it can't be done - no worries.

You mean registered? Or have you given money to someone!
If it's only the form you're fine, just send in the one entry, with it's entry & it's fee.

I was trying to have something ready, unfortunately life got in the way, sorry lads!
