Hey Everyone just wanted to send out a reminder about the submission deadlines for this competition, brewers can start submitting their beer on July 16th with entries coming no later than August 3rd.
This is a pretty new thing for Ottawa. It's only our second ever competition and we've got a big mix of new and experienced brewers entering the competition. Regardless of how you score, the feedback you get will help you become a better brewer.
We're pretty excited about it and would love to have all the Ontario homebrewers well represented.
We'd love for this to be the start of something big in Ottawa.
