Not your typical competition, a hybrid people’s choice and pro judged element. Grand Prize is brew, name and serve your winning beer on Joyride Brewing’s 10 bbl system!

All beer styles are welcome! This contest will be two-fold: 1) A People’s Choice popular vote with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, and 2) A Best of Show judged by BJCP-certified judges, certified Cicerones and professional brewers. All entered beers will be used for each part of the contest. Judges will give you competition feedback (50 pt. scale) on your beer regardless of placement. Best of Show pro-judged beers will also have 2nd and 3rd place…with the grand prize of brewing your winning beer on Joyride’s 10 bbl system and beer served in their taproom. 

Part of the Edgewater Community Festival, come show off your talents to the thirsty masses and pro judges. Winners for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in each segment. Tapping party of 5 gallons of your winning beer for you and up to 12 friends. All proceeds to benefit Edgewater Collective’s work promoting “Thriving Schools, Thriving Community”. For more information on the Edgewater Community Festival (bands! food trucks! good times!) visit www.edgewatercollective.org/edgewater-community-festival/
