Thank you for your interest in the British Beerfest organized by Scioto, Olentangy, And Darby Zymurgists (SODZ).

You only need to register your information once and can return to this site to enter more brews or edit the brews you've entered. You can even pay your entry fees online if you wish.

Thanks and Good Luck To All Who Entered the British Beerfest!

There are 145 registered entries and 91 registered participants, judges, and stewards.

As of 10:38 PM, EDT, there are 89 received and processed entries (this number will update as entries are picked up from drop-off locations and organized for judging).

Rules

The competition is open to all non-commercial, home-produced beers, meads and ciders. Please enter as many categories and as often as you wish. Competition organizers, sponsors, judges, and stewards may enter the competition but will not be permitted to judge or steward any category that they have entries in.

The British Beerfest will accept entries from the 2021 BJCP styles listed in the Info tab. Please note: some categories may be combined with related categories for the purpose of awarding prizes.

Category 17A1, Burton Ale, has been selected for this year's Lucci Cup competition. The Lucci Cup is named for Susan Lucci, who was nominated and failed to win a Daytime Emmy Award 17 times, but finally won on her 18th nomination. This award is dedicated to all brewers who enter competitions and never seem to win the top prize. 

For judges, we are trying to go all electronic for scoring this year. This means that you should be prepared to bring whatever laptop/chromebook/tablet/etc. you want to use to enter evaluations. If you need to buy something, Amazon has basic Chromebooks for around $45 dollars that provide the necessary functionality (wifi, keyboard, touchpad, display, browser.)
