General Information

You must submit 2 bottles for each entry. One bottle is used for initial judging and one bottle is used for BOS prize judging. Entries with only one bottle may not be eligible for prizes if there is not enough sample left for the judging of the final round.

While not required, we suggest that those entering IPAs, Pale Ales and Begian styles include three bottles since that will allow us to have a fresh bottle for any mini-best of show rounds required. If you provide two bottles and advance to a mini BOS round, reserved beer from the first round bottle will be used which may deterimentally impact your beer.

12oz brown glass bottles are preferred; however, green and clear glass will be accepted. Swing top bottles will likewise be accepted as well as corked bottles. 16 and 22 ounce bottles are accepted, but the bottle needs below still apply regardless of the bottle size. Mead entries may be in smaller 8 ounce bottles.
