This is an intra-club competition for members of several homebrew clubs. Brewers compete both individually as well as for their club. The club with the most points takes home the coveted Deathmash Paddle and bragging rights for the next year.

5 categories of style
1. Lawnmower Beers These are highly drinkable, refreshing styles usually characterized by lower alcohol content and a clean finish.
2. German Ales & Hybrids These styles often focus on specific yeast expressions (banana/clove) or clean, cool-fermented ale profiles.
3. Belgian Ales Known for complex fermentation profiles, these beers are driven by fruity esters and spicy phenols.
4. X-Files (Experimental & Local) These categories are reserved for beers that do not fit into standard competitive classifications.
5. IndeCiders: We couldn’t decide which cider styles to include so we included them all according to the 2025 BJCP Cider Style Guidelines.
