  1. Enter as many as you like -- no entry number restrictions.
  2. You need at least 3-4 bottles of each entry for the club tastings. For AHA events you will need an additional 3 bottles of beer, if your beer is selected to go on to the AHA event. Please try to bring these extra bottles with you on the night of the competition.
  3. Keg entries are fine as long as you can produce bottled versions or counter-pressured from keg.
  4. In the event that a winner cannot produce the 3 bottles for the AHA events, the second place entrant will go on to the AHA finals.
