This competition has no connection to the Thirsty Orange Brew Extravaganza. You do not have to be serving beer at the festival to enter the competition.
Only professional commercial breweries licensed with the TTB can enter.
For the 2019 Championship any brewery distributing its beer in Tennessee can enter.
“Commercially Available” beers are the only eligible beers. This means that the beer is currently or has been available for sale to the public within 12 months preceding the competition date.
A maximum of 12 entries per brewery is allowed, and there are no limits on number of beers per category. For example, if your brewery produces 3 different IPAs, you could enter all three of those beers.

Best of Show – One or more judge pairs will evaluate your beer, judging it to the 2015 BJCP guidelines for the style you enter it has. Those same judge pairs, after judging all the beers in that category, will determine the top 3 beers at that table. The top beer at each table will then go to the Best of Show table. Here, 3-5 high ranking BJCP judges will judge the top beers at each table and select the top 3 beers overall for the competition.
