Our final ALEZ competition of 2013 is going to be a strong beer competition, with the requirement of having an original gravity of 1.075 or greated. The entries will be judged based on the BJCP categories:
5C/5D Doppelbock/Eisbock
9E Strong Scotch Ale
12C Baltic Porter
13D/E/F Foreign Extra/American/Russian Imperial Stout
14C Imperial IPA
15C Weizenbock
16D Biere de Garde
18A/B/C/D/E Belgian Blonde/Dubbel/Trippel/Golden Strong/Dark Strong
19A/B/C Old Ale/English Barleywine/American Barleywine
22B Other Smoked Beer
22C Wood Aged Beer
To view the BJCP style guidelines for these categories go to: www.bjcp.org/docs/2008_Guidelines.pdf
There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd places for this competition, with a prize for first place. Entries will need to be two 12 oz bottles for judging, and either two more 12 oz bottles or one 22 oz bottle for tasting at the holiday party. Winners will be announced at our annual holiday party, date TBA. We'll have all the entries available to taste then as well. There is no entry fee to this competition. Due to the fact that judging high gravity beers is more palate wrecking than regular strength beers only one entry per person will be allowed for this competition.
Entries for this competition will be due at our April public meeting on Tuesday November 19. If you can't make the meeting you can drop your entries off at Blockader Homebrew Supply as well. I'll post an entry form you can print off to include with your bottles as the competition draws closer.
Use this thread to discuss anything about the competition and brewing strong beers, and ask any questions you may have.
