BREW OR CRY:
Brewers Challenge 2014

WINNER: Hannah Stoffs

New Format
6 Team Captains will be chosen by the e-board, based on their scores from the first year’s challenge and their willingness to be a captain.

Each Team Captain will draft club members, forming teams of at least 3 brewers. After teams have a total of 3 brewers, additional brewers will then be placed onto teams until there are no more eligible brewers left in the club. Where upon any new members joining the club shall be added to existing teams by way of the draft order.
The team captains that are chosen to face-off during the challenge will mutually agree on a style of beer from the Beginner (1st round), Intermediate (2nd round) and Advanced (3rd round) category.

Once a style of beer has been agreed upon, it must be presented to the e-board and placed in the competition log. Selections made by team captains are based on a first come, first serve basis, and each set of two teams are required to have a different beer choice so that there are not 3 of the same beer style to judge.

If teams are unable to agree upon a style of beer, then the e-board will choose a style of beer that is in the team’s best interest to brew.!

Each team may enter a maximum of 3 beers per competition, which will subsequently be judged and placed in order from 1st through 6th place.

Winning team after 3 rounds will face off against each other for the grand prize and bragging rights of 2014 Brewer of the Year for the SPWH!

Point totals
1st =12 2nd=10 3rd=8 4th=6 5th=4 6th=2

Extra points can be awarded for entering into a competition outside the club. Only one
competition score will be awarded per beer in the Brew or Cry challenge but brewers
may enter multiple competitions to get the best possible score counted. Points can be
awarded up to the 3rd round judging.

Extra points are awarded of BJCP scores
20-30 = 2 30-40 = 4 40-45 = 6 45-50 = 10
