We run a series of friendly competitions at several of the social meetings throughout the year. All homebrew (including non-beer such as cider or mead) is eligible for the competitions, with the exception of the reinheitsgebot competition where only beer is allowed.
The competition schedule is as follows:
Month | Theme | Results |
---|---|---|
February | Strangebrew (bizarre ingredients and flavors) |
|
March | Wood-aged |
|
June | Session (4% ABV and below) | |
November | Reinheitsgebot (only allowed ingredients are barley, hops, water, and yeast!) |
The top three places plus honorable mention in each competition win prizes. We welcome any donation for prizes. If you have any beer paraphernalia, unopened brewing ingredients, etc., please consider bringing it to a competition to be given away as a prize.
At the end of the year, we will crown a West Sound Brewer of the year. A brewer placing in one of the above competitions earns three points for first place, two points for second place, and one point for third place.
