The National Homebrew Competition is the largest beer competition in the world, and it is made possible by the enormous effort of hundreds of volunteers who help judge, steward and organize. If you’re interested in judging, stewarding, or volunteering, email nhc@brewersassociation.org for more information. Most judging, stewarding, and volunteering recruitment is done by invite-only.
