Hi guys,
We're running the Toronto Beer Week Homebrew Contest again. Just like last year, entry is free, judging is to the BJCP categories (but not BJCP certified), and you'll receive feedback from our TBW judging panel. We're currently finalising the prizing, and will announce some pretty damn cool stuff soon. Entry deadline is September 9th, and I've posted all the info you need to know on the bartowel homepage:

For the rules and entry forms, check out our website:

Good luck and happy brewing!

so does anyone want to have a "bartowel side competition" again this year? i think last year we did ordinary bitters... what style should we go with this time?
i'm sure we'll have a couple to enter either way.

If you guys choose to do a side comp or two, make sure you include your BT handle in the notes section and I'll post the rankings!

Hey Rob, is there still a "Brew of 1812" category?

We figured we'd un that one next year because folks probably need a lot more notice. Seems like a better fit anyway.

Thanks for the clarification. Definitely will give extra time for those wishing to take on the challenge.
Cheers

The prizes last year were great!
The entry is free and if your local you could probably even drop it off. It's a great way to get feedback on your brews & potentially win a prize. You'd be crazy NOT to enter!

Derek's right! The prizes this year are stacking up to be even better than last year - if all of this comes together I know of no other contest n North America that offers this range and amount of cool prizes. We'll be posting details shortly...

Agreed!
Looking forward to feedback on what I've been brewing lately, I have some really interesting stuff to enter this year.
