Now in its fourth year, the competition is open to amateur brewers from across the UK. They get expert feedback on their beers, as well as being in with a chance of winning prizes.
The top prize is the opportunity to brew the winning beer with head brewer Jack Winter at Lenton Lane Brewery. The beer will be launched at the Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival, in October.
Other prizes include:
- A G30 Grainfather V3
- Vouchers to spend at Brew Day
- Brewing ingredients from Crisp Malt and Charles Faram Hops
Judging will take place on Saturday, 29th June, at The Gladstone pub, in Carrington. Members of the judging panel will include representatives from Brew Day, Let’s Beer, Lenton Lane Brewery, The Abdication Micropub, CAMRA, Nottingham Craft Beer Festival, Murphy and Sons, and other breweries, pubs, and bars across Nottingham.
The competition is open until 2nd June and will accept up to 100 different beers. Each entry costs £6 and amateur brewers can enter as many beers as they like. Full terms and conditions of the competition can be viewed here.
