Bring one bottle to the noted monthly meeting and give them to Aaron Grier.
The bottle should be an un-marked 12 to 14 oz brown bottles with your
entry form attached to the bottle with a rubberband.
Every attempt will be made to judge the beers at the meeting noted.
The styles that are AHA sponsored are scheduled to be judged at the OBC meeting approximately a month earlier in
order to give the winner time to ship their entry off to the national competition. Note: The OBC will pay the UPS/FedEx ground shipping and competition entry fee provided receipts for shipping and entry are forwarded to the OBC treasurer, John Lund.
Winners are posted to the monthly newsletter and listserv following the judging.
You can get more details on Club Only competitions at the
