This is a competition for homebrewers. As such: all-grain brews, partial-extract, and kit beers, meads, and/or ciders are welcome and will be treated equally. Beers, meads and ciders brewed using commercial equipment are not welcome. We invite all Canadian homebrewers to submit entries following the 2015 BJCP style guidelines, available at http://www.bjcp.org.

Only one (1) entry per person will be allowed in a given BJCP category sub-style. For example: If you brew a porter, a stout, and an imperial stout, you are free to enter each in Category 20 (American Porter and Stout), under their respective sub-categories: 20A, 20B, and 20C. All entries will be judged based on the category they are entered as, and/or based on additional information provided by the brewer at the time of registration.

The total number of entries for this competition will have a hard cap of 300 entries. An initial limit of 5 entries per person for the first week of registration that will be increased if the overall entry limit is not reached. 

Judging will take place between the 11th and 16th of November, 2019 - as required based on the number of entries. The awards ceremony will take place on November 16th, 2019 (Note: Results will be posted to the website no earlier than Sunday the 17th to allow the organisers to enjoy the awards ceremony...)

A minimum average score of 30 must be obtained to be considered for the Best of Show judging round, and to be considered for a medal. Beers put forward for Best of Show are generally the best beer at the table but in the case of multiple tables per category a miniBOS will be implemented at the Head Judges and Organizers discretion. As well, judges reserve the right to push forward multiple entries from the same table (generally in the case of large combined style tables e.g. sours, mixes of wood aged and spice beer etc.). The organizers reserve the right to reorganize categories as they see fit to award medals based on the mix of entries submitted. Medals and feedback sheets will be provided as promptly as possible to winners and additional prizes will be handed out at the discretion of the organizer. All decisions by the competition organizers are final.

Points will be awarded as follows:

3 points Gold or Best of Show

2 points Silver or Runner Up

1 point Bronze or 2nd Runner Up

The Saskatoon Headhunters Brewing Competition is registered with the Brewer of the Year, and medal winners will receive points as described on their website. For more information see http://www.breweroftheyear.com.

The Saskatoon Headhunters Brewing Competition is registered with the Beer Judge Certification Program, and is subject to their requirements as applicable (eg. a brewer shall not judge their own category). Judges will be primarily certified or higher-ranked BJCP judges, provisional BJCP judges, and BJCP judges-in-training; with some experienced beer judges, professional brewers, and other qualified individuals. Judges will be selected by the organizing committee.

If you’d like to volunteer as a judge, please sign up via the registration/entry page http://database.saskatoonheadhunters.ca or email the competition organizer.  You can register as a judge without submitting any entries.
