Entry Categories:
We are accepting entries in all categories – Beer, Cider, and Mead – using the 2008 BJCP Style Guidelines.
We will provide feedback using standard written BJCP Scoresheets, not the NHC checkbox sheets.
Entry Cap:
We will accept 402 entries this year — that’s the area code in most of Eastern Nebraska!
Regular Categories:
Entries are limited to (1) per Sub-Category per person in any category not listed below.
Specialty Categories:
In order to open our event to those of you who get creative with styles, we have lifted the limit on entries in the specialty categories.
Come again? This means you are now able to enter as many beers as you want to in the Spice, Herb and Vegetable category so long as each of them is different and unique from each other!
