This is NOT an AHA sanctioned event.

their time)
All categories are welcome
- If there are multiple beers in a category they will be judged
against each other and the winnner will go to BOS round.
Use BJCP bottle identification labels
Submit 2 12 oz bottles - We can get away with 1 22 oz or whatever you
have for now - once we get over 20 entries it may change.
Entries must be dropped off August 19th -22nd for judging on Sunday
August 22nd After the brewing demo


Prize -
AHP T shirt or $10 Gift Certificate AND a BJCP scoresheet for every

Any certified BJCP judges are welcome to come and judge - Let me know if you're interested

I brewed a Pale Ale last month that I can enter. Also brewed a Porter in June that should be ready by now.

Count me in...Vanilla Cream Ale, Double Barrel Ale and maybe a Fat Tire

[StarRaptor]

If we are opening it up I've got some beers ready to go, I was online to be a judge but I think I'll step aside

Now we're talking. It looks like there is going to be quite a few entries.

Is this competition open to all, because I have an amber ready for judging?
If so, where do I drop my beer off?

Entries must be dropped off August 19th-22nd

How lenient is this? If my wife makes a run up to Glendora tomorrow or Wednesday, dropping them off early wouldn't be an issue, right?

(Alternatively, if anyone in South OC is going up that way and can take entries, let me know).

Brian, very lenient. I'm closed on Tues/Wed though. You can drop it off with either of my neighbors though...

This was a TOUGH competition. There were a couple of stellar beers and only one "less than perfect" entry.
The competiton gets tougher each month so be sure not to miss the next one. Also, the judging scoresheets get better and better. Without further ado, the winners are:

3rd place goes to John Ward for his Kolsch

2nd place goes to Jeff Burton for his 1554 Clone ("Belgium Black IPA" - I think that was it)

And the WINNER is... (drum roll)...

Scott Bennett for his India Pale Ale (IPA)

Scott's IPA was a somewhat dark, slightly malty, well bittered masterpiece. It really blew the judges away. We kept pouring sample after sample and afterwards finished the bottle (22 oz). Well done Scott ! You can claim your AHP T shirt at your convienence.

Everyone will receive 3 or 4 scoresheets per entry. Thank You for particpating and look forward to next month's competition.

Judges were: Robert Kennedy, Scott Bennett, Daniel Fernandez and Eric Addison
