WELCOME TO THE 3RD ANNUAL CRAFT BEER LB HOMEBREW INVITATIONAL.

You are more than just a consumer of beer. Today, you are also an arbiter of delicious.

People’s Choice voting is going digital! Each (drinking) ticket will be able to vote twice. DD/Kids will not be able to vote. There are many homebrewers to choose from. If you are torn between determining which one is your favorite, then cast your votes two ways.  QR codes will be up at every booth which will bring you to the “Voting Booth”

HOW TO VOTE… You received an email when you purchased your ticket(s).  In the email you received a QR code for each ticket purchased.  This is the QR code we scan when you enter the event.  Under (or next to) each QR code is a number.  You will need this # when voting.  As mentioned above, each (drinking) ticket will be able to vote twice.  Once your vote is cast, you can not change it. If you have any questions, visit the merch booth or hunt down Dennis or Mikey.

Below are a couple examples of where to grab the QR code #:

There will be three finalists for today’s award. So be equitable, forthright, and just.

Once you complete voting, you will be automatically entered into a raffle.  We will be raffling off a couple hats and an event t-shirt.  You must be present to win.  Winners will be announced right before the award ceremony.

The “Voting Booth” will also be a key to help you navigate your palette wrecking experience. Plan accordingly. Try sampling as many homebrews as possible before settling on a winner(s). The voting will end promptly at 4:15 for the purposes of tallying and announcing the winner in a timely fashion. Reminders of your obligations will occur throughout the event to keep you on track.

In addition to the people’s choice award, judge’s are working behind the scenes to determine on the basis of style guidelines, which beer is the best. An awards’ ceremony for both will occur just prior to the events conclusion so plan on sticking around and enjoying the festivities with us till the end.

Thank you so much for your support of our friends, family, and community. Today we celebrate those who slave away diligently over boil kettles and mash tuns to bring you brown bottles full of neighborly love.

And a special thanks to our sponsors: Stein Fillers Homebrew Supply Store for their generously assisting and overseeing today’s judging competition. Also, to Long Beach Beer Lab for their generous award of a Pro-Am collaboration Brew for today’s Judge’s Choice award winner.

Cheers!
