Hey Bartowel! We want you to enter our homebrew competition this fall. There will be lots of prizes for the winner and lots of fun for everyone! If you are interested in learning how the beer judging process works this is a great opportunity to learn by stewarding!

GTA Brews is pleased to announce the dates and details for our Brew Slam 2016 Homebrew Competition in Toronto. These dates might seem like a ways away, but it's actually under 3 months away so get brewing and mark the deadline in your calendar!

Entry Deadline: Sept 24th, 2016
Judging Dates: Sept 30th – Oct 2nd, 2016

Account registration is open now! Visit the Brew Slam 2016 page for rules and entry details!

**About Brew Slam 2016**
Brew Slam 2015 was our club's first big competition. It was a huge success with 318 entries judged in only 2 days, almost 50 amazing volunteers, and thousands of dollars in prizes!

We are excited to build on last year and make Brew Slam 2016 bigger and better. Our goal is to make this the premier competition in the area for both judges and entrants. Toronto has the largest pool of BJCP judges in Canada which allows us to focus on the best quality judging and feedback possible. We are also excited to work with some fantastic sponsors for even better prizes than last year!

Just under a week left to get your entries in before the Sept 24th deadline! Going to be a big year! Drop off at Toronto Brewing, Brew North, and Rainhard Brewing Co!

Looking for volunteers to help with entry sorting and stewarding! If you are a BJCP judge (yes Provisional counts!) we need you! All volunteers get free tickets to the awards, and judges/stewards get $20 gift cards to Toronto Brewing!

Judging/Stewarding: Sept 30 - Oct 2. Sign up and specify which sessions you are available for here: http://brewslam.gtabrews.ca/index.php?section=register

Stewarding is a great way to get exposed to the world of BJCP beer judging, no experience required! Stewards at GTA Brews competitions are at the tables with the judges, listening in to the discussions, and tasting along for some of the beers.

Entry Sorting: Sept 25th, 12-4 pm @ Toronto Brewing. Email comp@gtabrews.ca to sign up or PM me on Facebook! Sorters can bring their entries with them on the 25th instead of making a separate trip!
