You must complete part of your brew at Big Brew Day at Broad Street Brewing!

Entries are due at the June 30 meeting.
The team at Broad Street will be sponsoring a Pro-Am for our competition and choosing one beer to brew for their taproom! A huge thank you to them!
A tip from Broad Street Brewing
There are some styles to AVOID to increase your chances of being chosen:
Beers with long aging required (barrel aged, sour, etc)
Broad Street Brewing flagships
