This years event will be held at St Clouds Commons, Huntington, WV on Saturday July 28^th 2007. GHHA BREWFEST will follow the homebrew contest. Last year, the Homebrew contest drew 209 entries from 19 states, including one entry from Dominica (British West Indies). We anticipate a similar number of entries this year. All entries will be judged according to the 2004 BJCP guidelines. Medallions will be awarded to the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place beers in each category. In addition a best of show trophy will be awarded to the top entry. Meads, ciders & braggots will compete in their own best-of-show judging. Entries will be accepted July 10 - July 22, 2007. The fee is $5/entry, 2 bottles per entry. Beers should be entered on-line using the Homebrew Competition Wizard MBO Entry. The Competition Wizard guides you through the entry process and assists in entering the beer into the correct category. The Competition Wizard will also generate bottle labels and provide a tracking number for the beer. The label must be attached to the bottles with a rubber band. These labels contain brewer information and will be removed before the Judges see the bottle. Entry fees can be paid by check (made out to Greater Huntington Homebrewers Association/GHHA) or credit card payments through PAYPAL. Ship entries to GHHA, Trinity Episcopal Church, 520 11th Street, Huntington, WV 25701 . Judges and volunteers should also sign up using the Homebrew Competition Wizard MBO Judges/Stewards. GHHA Label contest will be back for its third year. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 labels. Labels will be displayed at the GHHA BREWFEST with attendees voting for a people’s choice award. Judging will begin at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday July 28^th, 2007. All BJCP certified judges will receive free admission to the GHHA BREWFEST. Awards will be presented Saturday night. Depending on the number of entries and qualified judges, judging of the Meads, Ciders and Braggots maybe moved to the first week of August. Both Raddison and Holiday Inn hotels are located in downtown Huntington, WV. If you have any questions contact David Zalewski at djzalewski@mapllc.com (606-921-6357).
