Entry Requirements

Entry Requirements

  • For this competition, homebrewing competitors must enter two bottles for each contest entry.
  • Only 1 ENTRY per Sub-Category will be allowed per contestant.

Bottle Restrictions

  • Entries must be 10 to 16 ounce glass or plastic bottles of ANY style and clean and free of any labels (inked, paper, or otherwise). Entrants are encouraged to use brown, long-neck bottles for maximum protection from light and breakage.
  • Soft drink or other printed crowned caps are acceptable; however, they need to be blacked-out with a black marking pen to assure anonymity in all judging situations.

Late Entries and Disqualifications

  • No entries will be returned whether received late or otherwise. All entries become property of the Minnesota Homebrewers Assoc.
  • Beers will be disqualified for entry requirements infractions. These entries may still be judged but will be ineligible for awards or prizes. You will be notified if your entry has been disqualified. 

Entry Forms and Labels

  • All Entries must be registered online prior to shipping or drop-off.  To complete your registration, please go to Get Registered!
  • Each entry must be submitted with a printed copy of your User Profile. Use a rubber band to attach a post-it to each bottle marked with the entry number. The use of tape or glue to attach forms is not acceptable.

Entry Deadlines

  • Entries will be accepted from August 1 - August 23, 2008.  Please go to Drop-Off and Shipping Entries for more information.
