Enter the 2024 Competition

The National Homebrew Competition gives amateur brewers the opportunity to receive invaluable feedback, win prizes, and recognizes outstanding, world-class homebrewed beer, mead, and cider.

Return to Regional First Round Competitions

The 2024 National Homebrew Competition will return to first round regional competitions across nine (9) different competition sites. Each site will determine which beers will advance to the Final Round judged once again in San Diego.

New this year: shipping/receiving dates for each first round site will vary based on actual judging dates for that location. This improvement will allow for flexibility for all homebrewers to select the best location for their entries based on the timing of shipping & judging.

Entrants will select their First Round judging site during registration on a first-come, first-served basis.

Brewer Feedback

During first round judging, all entrants will receive electronic BJCP-structured judge scoresheets for their entries, which will be available no more than 2 weeks after the completion of first round judging.

In addition to the first round BJCP scoresheets, all beers that advance and compete in the final round of judging will also receive electronic judge feedback cards. Note: these do not include numerical scoring.

Mead & Cider Categories

In an effort to expand competition and opportunities for our meadmakers, the mead award categories have expanded from 5 categories to 13 categories, and Cider from 2 to 4. We hope to maintain the spirit of competition while still celebrating the diversity of mead & cider styles available, so send forward your best!

Competition Registration & Application

The Competition Registration & Application process will set an overall predetermined entry limit. If there is capacity to add more entries, we will let entrants know in early March 2024.

2021 BJCP Style Guidelines

The 2024 National Homebrew Competition will use the 2021 BJCP Style Guidelines.

First Round Competition Site Selection: Sites will fill on a first-come, first-served basis and are limited to approximately 750 entries per site. Homebrewers do not need to choose the site that is closest to them geographically and can select any site they choose based on availability (choose wisely).

ENTRIES: Entrants must indicate how many entries they would like to submit to the competition and pay for all entries. There is a predetermined limit of 10 entries per brewer. If there is the capacity to accommodate additional entries after registration closes, we will notify brewers directly. You may enter more than one beer per category or subcategory. You may NOT enter the same beer more than once anywhere in the competition (that would be weird). You will be able to edit specific beer entry details after payment. NOTE: The competition registration and payment system is an all-inclusive system.

Fill out the registration form in full. Many categories will require you to provide specialty information about your entry—examples include fruits, spices, types of barrels, etc. (see page 17 for more information). You can free-type this information if you encounter difficulty with the online entry portal. You will receive a confirmation email with your application. You will be able to edit your entry information through March 29.

NHC TABLES: Every year, the competition organizes the BJCP Style Guidelines into Tables in a meaningful and manageable way. Review the Tables in this handbook carefully to know which subcategories fall within which NHC Tables. Note: the category list is organized by table number, with the corresponding BCJP category number listed in parentheses. Be sure to include any additional information required for your entry’s subcategory in the BJCP 2021 Style Guidelines.

HOMEBREW CLUB: Entrants may only choose one homebrew club total for the entirety of the competition. Changing a homebrew club is prohibited after the shipping window closes.

Entries may be edited through March 29.

Step 4: Shipping Window

All entries must be received during the shipping window (dates vary by First Round site) at the designated locations for each Judging Center. This information is shown on your Entry Labels and in your First Round Brewer Profile. If you are unsure, please contact the site organizer for your Judging Center.

Step 5: Feedback & Results

First Round score cards will be sent back to entrants via email, and all brewers advancing to the Final Round of judging will be notified by July 2. Advancing brewers will receive additional instructions on sending entries to Final Round judging in San Diego.

First Rounds: Two (2) bottles must be sent to the first round competition site selected during registration.

Reference the Dates & Deadlines page. Once you’ve completed the registration and payment for the competition, you can log in and edit your entries through March 29. You must pay for your entries during the registration period to be eligible and maintain your place in the competition.

After the registration and payment window closes, no you cannot delete entries.

After that, you are stuck with your requested entries regardless of whether you ship all of them.

No, sorry.

Your choice! It is your responsibility to enter each entry in the appropriate category and subcategory. Staff of the National Homebrew Competition and the Brewers Association cannot aid homebrewers in this decision. Detailed descriptions of each of the beer styles and subcategories are available via the 2021 BJCP Style Guidelines.

For specific information on special ingredients and entry instructions in a subcategory, please reference the 2021 BJCP Style Guidelines, find your subcategory, and locate the subheading “Entry Instructions.” This section identifies the required information necessary to judge an entry. The online entry portal will prompt you for the underlying base beer style and for specialty information such as fruit, spices, type of wood, etc. Entries not accompanied by this information will be at a disadvantage during judging.

Tip: keep it simple. When entering entries with ingredients such as fruit, vegetables, or spices, avoid words like extract, puree, fresh, all-natural, or canned—just indicate the ingredient used.

Do not use brand names, geographic names, or any other proper names of special ingredients. To eliminate potential judging bias and to maintain anonymity of entries, any identifying and/or potentially biasing information (positive or negative) will be reviewed edited for judging at the competition director’s discretion. Only essential ingredient and/or process-focused information pertinent to judging will be provided to judges. (Ex: “My award winning IPA brewed with homegrown blueberries” will be converted to “IPA w/blueberries”, etc.)

All MEAD entries must include sweetness, carbonation, and strength information.

All CIDER entries must include sweetness and carbonation information.

First Round Competition Site Shipping: May – June (dates vary by First Round site). Directly to first round site selected during registration. Address details & hours of operation coming soon. 

Final Round Competition Shipping: Entries are due to San Diego July 29 – August 9. 

Shipping Address/Location:
Alesmith Brewing
ATTN: NHC FINAL ROUND
9990 Alesmith Ct
San Diego, CA 92126

Open daily 11am – 10pm

This availability varies by location. Please reference the receiving location instructions for your individual site. For sites that allow direct drop-off, beers must be packaged safely (e.g. no loose bottles or the like).

It is the entrant’s responsibility to make sure entries arrive on time and are labeled correctly. Please do not use the United States Postal Service (USPS).

  1. The AHA highly encourages using items like Spirited Shipper, Whale Pods, or similar for easy-to-use, minimal waste containers. Such packaging cuts down on waste materials and reduces delays in unpacking and sorting.
  2. Plan on using a national courier. It is best to schedule a pickup from home or a place of business. Shipments brought directly through UPS or FedEx may get denied, as shipping alcohol is against policy. Indicate “glassware” or “samples” if asked to provide such information.
  3. Beware of scrutiny with ground shipping.
  4. Package MUST have “Attn: 2024 NHC” listed on package when delivered.
  5. Deliver Direct (drop-off): Entrants may deliver their beers directly to their site’s designated drop-off location if one is provided. Not all sites have a drop off-location.
  6. Arrange for a return receipt or tracking number with your shipping company if you wish to confirm delivery of your package. Shipping/drop-off locations cannot confirm delivery of your entries.

Cost-saving tip: Entrants may consolidate shipments when sending competition beers. This saves time and money! Consider contacting your local homebrew club, homebrew shop, or brewery to discuss options

Homebrewers located outside the US may ship their entries:

  1. You may ship using a courier and customs clearance company of your choice, but we recommend a national courier of your country.
  2. Declare the package as “samples, glassware” with a $0 or $1 value as a gift.

Disclaimer: Some brewers have had trouble with US Customs. The AHA is not responsible for any confiscated, lost, or damaged entries.

If you have further questions, please email info@brewersassociation.org.

Shipping addresses for first round and final judging will be provided once registration opens.

Ask for a tracking number when you ship! If you do not have a tracking number. Do not contact the business of the shipping/drop-off location!

First, second, and third place in the First Round with a score of 30 points or greater are awarded ribbons for their achievements and advance to the Final Round of the National Homebrew Competition.

First Round results will be published and Judge Feedback (Comment Cards) will be emailed to entrants within 2 weeks or less of the end of judging for your 1st round site.

First round ribbons are sent out to entrants about 30 days after the final round judging has finished.
