What is stewarding?

Stewards are part of the competition team that help prepare and deliver entries to judges, along with other tasks. For more information, please visit the Beer Judge Certification Program website (bjcp.org). If interested in stewarding, please email nhc@brewersassociation.org.

What is judging?

Judging is the process of evaluating entries in relation to a style guideline. Judges are not given and personal or identifying information so the evaluation remains unbiased and fair throughout the competition.

When is judging/stewarding?

Judging/stewarding for the first round competitions take place from March 24-April 23. More information regarding dates and times will be available soon.

Final judging takes places June 21 in San Diego at the Town & Country Resort, prior to Homebrew Con.
