Eligible Categories

We are following the NEW 2015 BJCP Guidelines. We are accepting entries in only 1 category – BJCP Category 21 (American IPA). Each person can only submit 1 beer per sub-category, although we're counting each 21B sub-style as a separate category. So, for example, someone could enter a beer in 21.A., 21.B. Belgian, and 21 B. Black IPA, but someone couldn't enter two beers in 21.B. Belgian.

***NOTE 1: depending on the number of entries, we may collapse sub categories
***NOTE 2: You must choose the sub category that is the best representation of your beer as the judges or organizers will not classify or reclassify your beer.
