Homebrewing is the catalyst, the lifeblood and in a lot of cases the incubator for craft brewing. It’s important. If you’re a local homebrewer and have any desire to move into the brewing industry, you’re going to want to get your beer out there, your name out there and start rubbing elbows with folks who can help you on that journey. West Side Brewing has brought back what is a great chance for you to do just that this spring… so listen up!

The West Side Homebrew Competition

This is a really fun competition – it doesn’t center around categories, and has a very simple theme to it. Brew the best that you’ve got. They’re going to accept all submissions up until national homebrew day on May 7th (by 7pm) and winners will be announced on Saturday, May 27th at 6pm.

If you’re chosen as a winner… here’s what that means:

• First Place – Your recipe will be brewed by West Side, with you naming the beer and a $100 West Side gift card.
• Second Place – You get the chance to shadow West Side’s head brewer, lunch and a $50 gift card.
• Third Place – $20 gift card.

The brewery is offering wort pickup on March 27th from noon-4pm – so… should you choose, you can fire up your kettles in their parking lot and brew on-site.
