Our Next Competition: Winter Ales

November 25, 2011 by fhsteinbart

Hey Guys,

Our next brewing competition will be for “Winter Ales”. Our competition will be limited to BJCP style Catagories 23: specialty beer, 22c: wood aged, (specifically bourbon aged), 21B: Christmas/Winter Specialty Beer, 19B & 19C: English/American Barley Wine. Other catagories will be allowed provided that they can reasonably be classified as a “winter ale”, this means Big and Smooth spices and/or wood optional.

If you need clarification on the BJCP styled listed above, click here to view the BJCP Style Guide. It’s the 2008 edition, but it’s the most recent one available on the BJCP website and it’s what we will be using to evaluate the beers.

There is no entry fee for the competition. Use the standard BJCP entry form that can be found HERE. This form should be attached to your entry along with a bottle label ID form, which can be found here.

There is no entry fee for this competition. Entries will be due at FH Steinbart Co. by Friday January 4th 2012. Scores will be posted, along with your name at fhsteinbart.wordpress.com/. You can come pickup your judging sheets at the store after the competition is over.
