The National Homebrew Competition (NHC) First Round judging is complete and the results have been published.
Congratulations to First Round winners on your achievement and thank you to everyone who entered the world’s largest homebrew competition!
Scoresheets have now been emailed to all entrants via the Beer Awards Platform via contact@GetBAP.com. If you have not received these scorecards, please check your junk/spam folder before emailing contact@GetBAP.com.
In an effort to create unbiased final judging for rarer styles, the official sub-style letter will be excluded until the award ceremony on June 24. Only the official NHC awards category will be included on the First Round winners list.
All registrants with an entry that placed first, second, or third or entries that have an administrative advance have been notified directly with information on where, when, and what to ship to final round judging. Those who advanced to the Final Round will also see this indicated on their entry scoresheets with a one, two, or three indicated on their sheet.
