General Information

What is "Iron Brewer" you ask? Unlike most homebrew competitions where you are directed to brew to a certain style, for Iron Brewer, you (or your team) will be assigned an “inspiration” or “secret ingredient” that must be used in a brew of your choice. That’s right, you can pick the style, but choose wisely – which style is going to best showcase the inspiration or secret ingredient you receive? Beers will be judged in a preliminary round according to the 2015 BJCP Guidelines. The top 5 beers will advance to a Public Tasting event to support the Portola Neighborhood Association (PNA) to be held at Ferment.Drink. Repeat Sunday, December 15th. The Overall Winner will be determined by a combination of Public Tasting vote, and if needed for tie-breaking purposes, input from the preliminary judging panel. If a clear winner is not determined in that process, the Head Brewer at FDR reserves the right to declare the Overall Winner of the event. Now for the really good stuff – the winning Brewer (or team) will get to scale up the beer and brew it at FDR on our 7-Barrel brewing system, and serve it with us at the 2020 SF Beer Week Opening Gala! How freaking cool is that?!? Besides getting to brew the beer, you’re going to get into the biggest, baddest, beer event of SF Beer Week – a guaranteed ticket in, and access to literally hundreds (thousands?) of beers to taste. Sweet!
