Hammond River Brewing is has announced that they're hosting a homebrew competition! Open to all New Brunswick homebrewers, the style to brew will be Christmas/Winter Specialty Spiced Beer. A total of four bottles of beer will be required; the due date for sample submission is January 9th, so you have lots of time to get brewing! Local BJCP-certified judges will be joined by a local sommelier to find the best in show. The winner will brew their recipe with HR owner/brewer Shane Steeves on his brew system, and the beer will be released on tap in the Saint John area. In addition, the top three finalists will receive prizes from the Saint John Ale House.

My main goal with this comp is to simply have fun and showcase all of the extremely talented homebrewers we have here in NB. :cheers:

I'm bottling it tomorrow but it finished at about 8.5%. Initial taste tests so far are pretty good, its a little boozy but I expect that to mellow out after it ages in the bottle for a bit.
