Rules

This competition is AHA sanctioned and open to any amateur homebrewer age 21 or older.

If you registered at domrascup.com last year, you will need to re-register for an account for this years competition.

All mailed entries must be received at the mailing location by the shipping deadline - please allow for shipping time.
All entries will be picked up from drop-off locations the day of the drop-off deadline.

All entries must be handcrafted products, containing ingredients available to the general public, and made using private equipment by hobbyist brewers (i.e., no use of commercial facilities or Brew on Premises operations, supplies, etc.).

The competition organizers are not responsible for mis-categorized entries, mailed entries that are not received by the entry deadline, or entries that arrived damaged.
The competition organizers reserve the right to combine styles for judging and to restructure awards as needed depending upon the quantity and quality of entries.

Qualified judging of all entries is the primary goal of our event. Judges will evaluate and score each entry. The average of the scores will rank each entry in its category. Each flight will have at least one BJCP judge.
Brewers are not limited to one entry in each category but may only enter each subcategory once.

The competition committee reserves the right to combine overall style categories based on number of entries. All possible effort will be made to combine similar styles. All brews in combined categories will be judged according to the style they were originally entered in.
The Best of Show judging will be determined by a Best of Show panel based on a second judging of the top winners.
Bottles will not be returned to entrants.

Entry Acceptance Rules

Number of Bottles Required Per Entry: 2

Entry Guidlines:

Each entry will consist of capped/corked bottles that are void of all identifying information, including labels and embossing. Printed caps are allowed, but must be blacked out completely.

12oz brown glass bottles are preferred; however, green and clear glass will be accepted. Swing top bottles, corked bottles, and cans will likewise be accepted.

The judges will not see the entries as this is a 100% blind judging competition and the cellar will prepare each entry in a Domras Cup glass for the steward to present to the judges.
One entry equals minimum of 24 oz (two 12 oz bottles or one 750 ml bottle). Max entries per brewer is 5 for the entire Domras Cup competition.

Bottles will not be returned to contest entrants.

All entries must be handcrafted products, containing ingredients available to the general public, and made using private equipment by hobbyist brewers.

-      no use of commercial facilities

All requisite paperwork must be submitted with each entry and can be printed directly from this website. Entry paperwork shall be attached to bottles by the method specified on the bottle label.

Be meticulous about noting any special ingredients that must be specified. Failure to note such ingredients may impact the judges' scoring of your entry.
