2009 Boston Homebrew Competition


This year's judging will be held at the law offices of Holland and Knight in the Back Bay area of Boston. Judging will begin at 9:00 AM sharp on Saturday, February 28th. In order to allow us to pre-assign judges and stewards to categories and to begin judging on time, we need to know which categories you have entered and which you feel qualified/prefer to judge. Please fill out the online Judge/Steward registration form providing this information by Friday, February 20th. Please also indicate whether you are able to assist in pre-judging flights during the week of February 23rd (location in the Boston area to be determined). Morning coffee, tea, and donuts will be served on competition day and lunch will be provided to all judges and stewards. For those driving to assist at the competition, parking is available in the garage at the site and will be reimbursed for those who register in advance.

Important Note: As the competition will be held in a secure building, pre-registering to judge or steward before the competition is required. We need to give building security a list of people helping in advance of the competition.
