The Battleground Brewers Guild is proud to announce the 2014 Skirmish in the Triad. The competition will take place on Nov 8th at the Hamilton Lake Swim and Tennis Center in Greensboro, NC. This is a BJCP sanctioned event and will cover all 23 BCJP Beer styles along with Ciders and Meads.

We are very excited to announce this year there is a chance for two Pro-Am collaborations. The   highest scoring Belgian Golden or Dark Strong Ale will have the chance to brew their recipe with Gibbs Hundred Brewing Company and the Best Of Show Beer will be brewed at Pig Pounder Brewery The beer will be brewed on their commercial system and the winning brewer will participate in the brew day.
