Competitions

Home Brew competitions are a part of our DNA. In addition to our members entering (and often placing quite well) in local, regional, and national competitions, we have a quarterly club only mini-comp and have hosted a variety of competitions over the years.

MINI-COMPS

Mini-comps have been held quarterly since 2012. The mini-comp focuses on a single BJCP style and is open to all club members. We brew a particular beer style, evaluate the brews to pick a winner and then let the winner pick the style for the next quarter. Style talks and/or commercial tasting are often conducted in advance of the mini-comp so everyone can be fully prepared. [click here for more info]

CENTRAL MASS HOME BREW CHALLENGE

The Wizards hosted the inaugural Central Mass Home Brew Challenge in 2023. The primary goal of the challenge was to bring the four local clubs together: WIZARDS, M4, FOAM and the Strange Brewers and was only open to active members of these four clubs. It was an opportunity to make new friends in the local brewing community, learn about competition judging and even establish some bragging rights. Deemed a rousing success by all, the challenge is sure to be back in 2024. [click here for more info]

ANNUAL HOMEBREW COMPETITION

Open to anyone the WIZARDS Annual Homebrew Competition was a fixture for 13 years from 2001 to 2014 featuring final judging and an awards ceremony on National Home Brew Day in early May. [click here for more info]
