TBW Homebrew Contest 2010
TBW Homebrew Contest 2010
Toronto’s first ever beer week is proud to announce its first ever homebrew competition.
A huge amount of the world’s best craft brewers started off with small batches at home, and we want to give recognition to the Canadians who are producing stunning ales and lagers out of their garages, basements and kitchens. Not only do we want to give recognition, but we also want to give prizes. Awards will be given to the winners of each style category, who will then advance to compete to be named the grand winner, with additional prizes for those finishing 2nd and 3rd overall. We’re working on putting together an extra special prize for the best in show.
Further info is available at the Toronto Beer Week website
Hopefully a number of you homebrewers will be onboard and want to take part. The major aim of TBW is to promote the craft beer scene in the city and province, and to attract more people to it, while improving the existing quality. Homebrewing is a damn fine pursuit, and we'd like to bring it more to the forefront of the public consciousness. After all, some of the finest beers I've had have come from fellow bartowellers who've made their own stuff at home!
We even made a special logo for you guys...

16C
17A
17B
17D
17F (maybe)
not sure what else we'll enter, but yeah, it'd need a farily quick turnaround if we wanted to add in a small BT style-specific component.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I'm going to take a look into that because I'm sure someone would be interested. If nothing else its great PR for the brewery.inertiaboy wrote:It would be extremely cool if one of the Toronto breweries offered to brew and bottle the winning entry, a la Beaus and CABA. Maybe not realistic for this year, but something to consider for 2011.
