2020 and not a Homebrew competition to be found, until now! North County Brewers are running the "Socially Distanced Stout Competition" in late November!!

Given that we're in the new normal some things will be handled differently:
• Our judges will judge the same beer remotely via video conference (Zoom etc)
• Beers will need to be dropped off with us OR posted (We'll provide the address with the labels) OR if your club is in surrounding counties then we can arrange collection. Any questions please PM me!
• We are asking for 3 bottles of 500ml. We know this is more than is typical but this will help us accommodate BOS
• We're only accepting one entry per brewer

Let's be honest we've never done this before but who has?
