Home bar owners have an opportunity to design, name, and brew their own beer while also winning a big cash prize via a new competition.

home bar contest

The International Backyard Bar Awards has been launched by beer brand Pinter and invites participants to showcase their unique home bar spaces.

Participants will be invited to submit a photo of their bar and what they’d name their beer if they win. A shortlist of entries will be selected from the UK and US to go head-to-head during a combined public and judges vote. Then, one will be crowned as the global winner.

The winner will receive a $10,000 cash prize plus an Ooni pizza oven, four Pinters to give to friends, and merchandise from breweries such BrewDog, Appalachian Mountain Brewery, Signature Brew, and Sycamore Brewery.

All entrants into the competition will receive a Pinter discount code, while anyone shortlisted will receive a stellar Pinter bundle. A runner-up in the UK and US will also, separately, receive a trophy, a Pinter, and an Ooni Pizza Oven.

Judges will include BrewDog co-founder James Watt, author and two-time brewer of the year Jaega Wise, Ooni founder Kristian Tapaninaho, advertising maestro and Havas Chicago president Myra Mazzei Nussbaum, and Pinter’s Ralph Broadbent.
