23rd Annual Reggale and DredHop Homebrew Competition 2012

There are some major changes in store for the Dredhop Homebrew Competition this year, including a return to Boulder! We hope you'll join us on Feb 25th, 2012.

This AHA/BJCP sanctioned event is open to all BJCP styles of beer, mead, and cider, and entries will be capped at 400. Entrants, judges and stewards are welcome to attend the post-competition reception, where winners will get ribbons and some great prizes.

Upslope Brewing will select and brew their 2012 Great American Beer Festival Professional/Amateur Competition entry from the Best of Show round beer entries, giving a winning homebrewer the chance to collaborate with and brew at one of Boulder's pro breweries and have their beer served at the Upslope Taproom and the Sundown Saloon. Dredhop is also a Master Championship of Amateur Brewing XV 2012 qualifying event.

Plan your brew now!

We are currently looking for Judges and Stewards: please register or contact us if you're interested.
