SUMMER 2015
HOMEBREW COMPETITION
Brew Style
It’s time to be creative! Use malt, hops, yeast and other
ingredients to come up with a great, refreshing summer beer.
The only requirement we have is that your beer be 5.5%
ABV or less AND use at least 20% wheat in the malt bill.
Don’t be afraid to push the limits and go beyond your
comfort zone and beer style parameters.
