This year, the club officers have decided to try something new this year and hold an “Iron Brewer” type event.
We’re calling it the IronAler Competition!
This fun and creative competition format has become very popular in recent years. If you’re not familiar with it, each contestant or team is supplied with a box of the same ingredients and given a fixed amount of time to brew 5 gallons of any style of beer they like – using those ingredients and those only!
It all culminates in an awards night, when the brewers present and promote their beer, and then everyone (official judges and the general public) votes on their favourite. The winners are awarded some great prizes.
The contest is limited to 25 contestants/teams. Single contestants must be card-carrying members of the club; teams (of up to four people) must include at least one club member.
The entry fee is only $25 per contestant/team. For this modest fee, you get:
- Two kinds of base malt
- Three kinds of specialty grain
- Four varieties of hops
- Three varieties of yeast
- One IronAlers tasting glass
The ingredient box will be supplied no later than Sunday, October 9th and MUST BE picked up by a representative of the team.
The tasting/awards night will be on Friday, November 25 at La Cenne (7755 Boulevard Saint-Laurent) at 7 p.m.
Contestants/teams must register here to participate no later than Friday, October 7, 2016. Contest details and rules can be found below.
