Here Comes the Summer

The Wee County Brewers are running a summer beer competition in conjunction with Dundalk Bay Brewery, Mo Chara, and Geterbrewed

Think light refreshing beer to enjoy on a warm summer day

Dundalk Bay Brewery will brew the winning beer

Geterbrewed have kindly offered to provide a free pack of Lupomax hop pellets to every brewer entering the competition. When entering your Geterbrewed order please add a note to say which Lupomax hop pellet you would prefer.

***NOTE: It is optional to use these Lupomax Hops in your entry***

Lupomax Hop Pellet Range

This competition is open to any amateur homebrewer age 21 or older.

All entries must be received at the drop off location by the drop-off deadline.

All entries will be picked up from drop-off locations the day of the drop-off deadline.

All entries must be handcrafted products, containing ingredients available to the general public, and made using private equipment by hobbyist brewers (i.e., no use of commercial facilities or Brew on Premises operations, supplies, etc.).

The competition organizers are not responsible for mis-categorized entries, mailed entries that are not received by the entry deadline, or entries that arrived damaged.

The competition organizers reserve the right to combine styles for judging and to restructure awards as needed depending upon the quantity and quality of entries.

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.

Brewers are not limited to one entry in each category but may only enter each subcategory once.

The competition committee reserves the right to combine overall style categories based on number of entries. All possible effort will be made to combine similar styles. All brews in combined categories will be judged according to the style they were originally entered in.

The Best of Show judging will be determined by a Best of Show panel based on a second judging of the top winners.

Bottles will not be returned to entrants.
