  2. Commercially brewed beer is not eligible for entry.

    • Home brewers who directly work for any commercial brewing entity may enter, though the beer MUST be brewed at home. These entries are eligible for certificates and best in class status, but may not win prizes.

  3. One bottle of each entry is required for judging. The minimum size of each bottle is to be 330mL.

    • Liability for loss or damage is the sole responsibility of the entrant.

    • Bottles MUST be safe. Mac's or similar bottles which do not hold pressure will be destroyed and the entry disqualified.

    • The bottle labels must contain ONLY the complete bottle ID

    • Bottles received without proper labels may be disqualified.

  8. The same beer cannot be entered more than once.

  9. Failure to observe the competition guidelines may result in disqualification of the entry.
