The Fifth Street Brewpub’s 1st Annual Member Homebrew Competition is now accepting entries! Bring your most creative brew to FSB and compete with your fellow member-owners.

Our Brewmaster, Darren Link, started out as a homebrewer, brewing recipe after recipe to finely hone his craft. Have you brewed a great beer but haven’t had the chance to share it with a larger audience? This is your opportunity! The Best of Show winner will work with Darren to scale the recipe for brewing in FSB’s Brewhouse. The winning member will also be invited to join Darren on brew day and assist with brewing the recipe. The beer will eventually be tapped and served at an exclusive FSB release party

The competition is open to any amateur homebrewer age 21 or older who is a member of Fifth Street Brewpub. All entries must be handcrafted products, containing ingredients available to the general public, and made using private equipment by hobbyist brewers. Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) judges will evaluate and score each entry. The average of the scores will determine the rank of each entry in its category. Each category will have at least one BJCP judge.

Style and Limitations

Due to the number of fermenters and Brite tanks and in the interest of keeping bacteria out of our brewery, please do not submit any barrel aged, wild ales (Brett, Lacto, or Pedio) or beers requiring extended aging. Only the following styles will be accepted. Refer to the BJCP style guidelines at

www.bjcp.org for a description of the beer styles.

Bottle Rules

Participating brewers can enter a maximum of two entries. Each entry will consist of two 12 to 22 ounce capped, corked, or swing top bottles that are void of all identifying information, including labels and embossing. Printed caps are allowed, but must be blacked out completely. 12oz brown glass bottles are preferred; however, green

and clear glass will be accepted. THE DEAD LINE FOR ENTERING IS MAY 2, 2015.

THE BEST OF SHOW AWARD!

Our Brewmaster, Darren Link, will work with the Best of Show winner to scale their homebrew recipe to be brewed in Fifth Street Brewpub’s

Brewhouse. The winner will also be invited to join Darren on brew day to brew the recipe. The beer will then have a release party scheduled at a later date. Fifth Street Brewpub reserves the right to choose the beer to brew from the Best of Show table based on recipe reproduction, system constraints, or financial reasons.

You must be a member of Fifth Street Brewpub to enter. If you would like to join FSB please click here.
