It’s fall—that means it’s time to start thinking about the 2018 National Homebrew Competition (NHC)!
You can find all the current 2018 information, including important deadlines, on the NHC main page. Please make sure to read the updated Rules & Regulations, which also contain the National Homebrew Competition styles that are reorganized from the 2015 Beer Judge Certification Program Style Guidelines. For more specifics on styles, please reference the BJCP Style Guidelines for beer, mead, or cider. The Online Competition Application opens January 23, 2018 and runs through January 30, 2018. Mark your calendars!
Keep an eye on the NHC main page for more specific dates and other information to be announced before the end of the year.
