Volunteering

First Round Winners

In order to be fair to all entrants of the National Homebrew Competition, the winners lists for all 11 competitions are posted simultaneously.  If there are competitions which are still being judged, no winners can be posted.  The competitions typically take place during the month of April, so the winners lists are posted on NHC Winners during the first week of May.

Volunteers ROCK!

The AHA National Homebrew Competition (NHC) is the largest beer competition in the world, and it is made possible by the enormous effort of hundreds of volunteers. 

Thanks to all of the volunteers who made the First Round competition a success in 2011!  All of the volunteer organizers, judge coordinators, judges, stewards, and all the competition staff people ROCK!

To get in on the action in 2012, here are the judging dates for 2012 and the contact person for volunteering.  Thanks!
