Dear Brewer,
 
Brewmeisters Anonymous is pleased to announce the Great Arizona Homebrew Competition will be held on February 21st and 22nd, 2009.  It is our hope and our goal that this event will lead to the greater understanding, the greater enjoyment, and the greater quality of homebrewed beer, mead and cider for all who participate.
 
Brewing at home allows us the freedom to make any beverage we are brave enough to attempt.  Many home brewers begin their foray into brewing content with any product that resembles the intended beverage.  With greater experience in brewing, we gain the confidence and ability to brew with greater predictability in our results.
 
Good beer is a pleasure to drink, regardless of its style. For home brewers who are content with making delicious beverages that don’t necessarily conform to any style, we say “Cheers!”  If you are a brewer who wants the challenge of brewing to a particular style, we invite you to brew and enter your beer, mead and cider in the Great Arizona Homebrew Competition.
 
For those who are new to the idea of homebrew competitions here is a bit of what goes on.  Judges are gathered that are familiar with traditional styles of beer, mead and cider.  In groups of two to four, they taste all of the entries in a particular style category and determine among themselves which ones most closely represents the style.  The three that represent the style the closest are given first, second and third place for that style.  There are twenty-eight (28) style categories. The style categories are defined by the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) dated 2008 and can be found at www.bjcp.org. Each entry is given a score and several of the best scoring beverages from all the categories are compared to determine the Best of Show (BOS), Second, and third are all determined by the judges. The judges score sheet is returned to the brewer, it lists the judges’ evaluation and comments so you know how your product faired.
 
Why enter the Great Arizona Homebrew Competition?  Bragging rights the sense of accomplishment from a brew well made and the prizes.  The top three entries in each category will be awarded medals and other prizes.
 
Entries will be accepted through the week February 11th.  For important details and restrictions, please see the Brewmeisters Anonymous website at http://www.brewarizona.org or write to:
