This competition is open to BJCP 2021 Category 20C Imperial Stouts only. No adjuncts, flavors, or other aging products. The winner of this competition will be going into a barrel for most of 2024 and be used as a signature REB beer for the Christmas party, Zoo Brew, and possibly other pouring events, so bring your A game!
Judging will be performed by the REB judge training class and other volunteers and will be judged using standard BJCP methods including Best of Show
The Best of Show judging will be determined by a Best of Show panel based on a second judging of the top winners. If you win Best of Show your will have to provide your recipe as it will be brewed by all who wish to contribute to the project.
