I like a sliding price for this service. You owe me $45, minus whatever I score your beer. So for 50 pt beers I'm giving you $5.  Seems fair.

So are we going to start the Michael/Antoch/Burkemper review service or what? I'll gladly pay people to give me 50 point beer! Hahaha

I'd be happy to pay anyone a bottle or two of homebrew for a serious review.  More then that is stretching it.

Except if the homebrew would be particularly lousy. Then you would be punishing the benefactor

GM doesn't mean much, until I make GM, then it will mean a lot.  I feel the same about the Ninkasi award. 

Antoch and Burkemper and I are going to undercut,
Act now, 3 / $100!

...to each their own

Cheers--

"No! No, no, not 6 minutes! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel."

Step into my office...

Great movie, and awesome segue


I dont think I would undercut them, just out shyster them. Call it Galactic Beer Cup! Everyone gets a gold medal, and all the notoriety and prestige that comes with it! Just $80 per beer, and you dont even have to send in a beer. Just send $80, plus shipping and handling to GBC and your medal will ship in 6-8weeks

How many of them thar 50's do you want?  ;-)

If you love your beer, then press on, but don't believe the hype when others rave about your beer without some outside verification. Far too many people are opening breweries based on opinions of those who have no clue and many will fail unless they get it figured out.

Hey, my friends think it's great beer!

Believe it or not, there are comps for commercial beer that actually work like that.

With higher entry fees?

Much higher.  My understanding is that the more you pay, the better the award you get.

Hi all,

First and foremost, I’d like to thank everyone for their comments and feedback. I’m pleasantly surprised by the amount of discussion Review My Homebrew generated as I didn’t really expect it! To help provide some more clarity and context around the service, I’ve put up an “about me” page so you know who I am and why I started this business as well as a blog post to address some of the feedback that came out of the various comment threads.

About me: http://www.reviewmyhomebrew.com/#!about/n0oq3

I’d like to invite anyone interested in trying us out to shoot an email to info@reviewmyhomebrew.com for a reduced rate. Cheers!

Did I miss the post where you answered the question several people posed, i.e. "What constitutes a professional beer judge?"

BJCP Grand Master level. Perhaps professional isn't the correct word, although many GMs do get paid for their judging services by writing for mags, doing sensory panels for breweries, etc. I guess "expert" might be better?

Might just be me being distrustful, but without BJCP numbers and contact information for the judges (like you get when you enter a BJCP competition), I wouldn’t give much credit to this service.
