Homebrewing clubs will submit the two most stellar brews created by their members to the competition.
The Rally

As part of the continuing effort to forge a strong connection between homebrewers and craft brewing pros all across America, we’ll be hosting our annual American Homebrewers Association Membership Rally in our Gardens on Saturday, March 13th at 1 pm. If you’ve always wanted to brew your own beer, or if you’re homebrewing all by your lonesome, this is a golden opportunity to make new friends and join the club—literally!

Beginning at 1 pm on March 13th, we will open the gardens to all participating AHA members, new and old, and the fun will begin! AHA members will sample competing beers and then vote for their favorites, narrowing the entries down to four brews. A panel of Stone judges will then hold a blind tasting of the four finalists and choose the winning beer.

After that things get really crazy—the Stone brewing team will have the distinct honor of brewing the winner’s personal beer recipe on our high-tech brewhouse. That’s right, we want to brew and bottle your beer! But wait, there’s more—winning this competition and having your beer brewed on our system earns you right to enter the resulting collaboration brew in the Pro-Am competition at this year’s GABF! Yes, fame and fortune can be yours, but first, PLEASE READ THE GUIDELINES (below) to get all your facts straight, and for god’s sake - START BREWING!
