Hey, Homebrewers! Don’t worry—we didn’t forget about you. We had a busy weekend throwing the Because Beer festival party-- over 3,000 people came down to Pier 4 Park in Hamilton to celebrate our mutual love for great beer. Thanks to all who came, and we hope you had a radical time! The 2014 Because Beer Homebrew Competition saw over 300 entries from across North America. Thanks to all of the judges, stewards, and volunteers who helped make the judging go smoothly. Thank you to all of our generous sponsors for the plethora of prizes! And, thanks to you, participants, for entering! We will be sending medals, prizes, and scoresheets out in the mail, or will be available for pickup locally (please email me to make arrangements).
