I just received a notification from our local brewery about a Stout Only competition if anyone is interested in participating. They are confirmed with Dave Houseman for BCJP certification. Rules below:
Pagosa Brewing & Grill
Stout-Only Homebrew Competition
for Stout Month 2013
(Sorry, professionally experienced brewers excluded)
In conjunction with our upcoming Stout & Chops Month in February 2013, we are challenging Stout Lovers to create a homebrewed Stout to help us celebrate.
In 2012, we offered 16 different Stouts (8 in-house & 8 guest). The winning homebrewer will have the opportunity to join us and brew a full sized 6bbl batch of their Stout recipe, which will be featured for Stout Month 2013. The winning brewer will also receive a $50 gift card & bragging rights.
RULES:
- Entries must be Stouts (no Porters, Black IPAs, Black Lagers, etc.)
- Entry must be under 8% ABV.
- This is an AHA sanctioned competition & BJCP style guidelines will be used for judging: BJCP 2008 Style Guidelines - Category 13
- Creativity of ingredients is encouraged, but not required.
- All entries must be delivered by Friday, 1/4/13 to Pagosa Brewing.
- For each entry, three 12 oz. bottles are required.
- Entries need to be labeled with names, styles & any necessary info.
- Participants cannot have professional brewing experience.
- Brewers cannot use our house yeast.
- All winning recipes will be considered Pagosa Brewing recipes, and at our discretion may (or may not) be brewed by us in the future.

Good Luck & Happy Brewing!
