World Cup 2009

The Bay Area Mashers homebrew club is pleased to announce our 14th Annual World Cup of Beer homebrew competition. The 2009 World Cup of Beer continues our tradition of running one of the best competitions in Northern California.

We have great prizes and awards for all winners. After the judging, we’ll host a party at the Trumer Brauerei in Berkeley, where all entrants are welcome to enjoy great beer, food, and fun.

World Cup judges will be judging all styles and sub-styles of beer in BJCP categories 1 through 19 and 22 (see BJCP web link below for more information on these categories). Beers (and Meads) in other styles will be judged, but will not qualify for MCAB.

The 2009 World Cup of Beer is a regional qualifying event for the Masters Championship of Amateur Brewing (MCAB), a national homebrew competition dedicated to providing the finest judging. To enter the MCAB, you must win a first place in an MCAB qualifying style in one of the dozen or so MCAB qualifying events. MCAB qualifying styles this year are BJCP categories 1-19 & 22.

Entry Deadline: March 14, 2009
