Since its inception, the Maryland Microbrewery Festival has included the homebrewing community as an important part of the Festival's goals of beer education and appreciation of all forms of the brewing arts. This year, the Sixteenth Anniversary of the event, the festival will once again feature its annual Homebrew Competition.

  • Maryland Microbrewery Festival 2021 Homebrew Competition
    Entry Period is June 1, 2022 to September 10, 2022. (Registration now closed.)

    Judging will take place during the festival, September 24, on the grounds of the historic Union Mills Homestead north of Westminster, MD. Winning brewer's recipe will be brewed commercially by Brewery Fire (with the homebrewer's assistance on brewing day, of course!) for draught sales at Brewery Fire in Taneytown, Maryland.  

    Categories:  The competition is open to five beer styles only... American Amber Ale; Weissbier; Belgian Golden Strong; Belgian Tripel; and Imperial Stout. The competition is aligned with the Brew for Ukraine effort of Pravda Brewery in Lviv, Ukraine.
     
    Winners will be announced from the stage at the conclusion of the judging.  Entrants do not need to be present to win.
