The "Queen of Beer" (QOB) women's homebrew competition is a BJCP and AHA sanctioned competition that is open to all non-commercial, home brewed beer and meads produced by persons of female gender. Beer produced by or with the assistance of persons of the male gender is not eligible.
All 28 of the 2004 BJCP Style categories (http://www.bjcp.org/stylecenter.html) are open for entry. Depending on the amount of entries, some categories may be combined for Judging.
Registration is accomplished using a web browser based registration Wizard that helps you enter your beers into a style category and creates bottle labels based on your registration information.
Ribbons are awarded for first, second and third place in each category (if point requirements are met). The first place winners in each category will have her beer included in the Best of Show, Queen of Beer judging round. Judging is by invitation only.
