Gnarly Barley Homebrew Competition Judging

JUDGING Homebrew judging will be on Saturday, July 31, 2010.

Judging sessions will be held at the Holiday Inn Express, Loveland CO beginning at 9:00am.

You do not need to be a registered BJCP judge to participate.

If you have any questions about judging, please contact the Competition Coordianator, Pamela McAlpin.

Lunch will be provided for Judges and Stewards.

Judging will take place on Saturday, July 31st and Awards presented on Saturday, August 7th at the Gnarly Barley Brew Festival at the Larimer County Fair. Qualified judging of all entries is the primary goal of our event. Judges will evaluate and score each entry. The average of the scores will rank each entry in its category. Each flight will have at least one BJCP judge. If a category has more than 11 entries, it will be split into two flights. Categories with a small number of entries may be combined at the discretion of the competition organizers. The Competition Coordinator or other qualified person will review elements of beer categories and styles with each panel prior to judging. The Best of Show judging will be determined by a Blue Ribbon Panel based on a second judging of the top winners.

Winners will be announced during the Gnarly Barley Brew Festival on Saturday, August 7, 2010. The festival is from 1:00 - 6:00 pm. Medals will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each judged category. Additional prizes will be awarded for Best of Show, Stewards Choice, Most Original Name, and a Standing Ovations Award selected from participant's entering a homebrew competition for the first time.
