The New England Regional Homebrew Competition continues to grow every year. Last year we had almost 400 entries, from both Canada and the United States. We use this competition as a fund raiser for charities in our community, such as American Cancer Society, and The Good Shepherd Food Bank of Maine.

This is a BJCP Registered/Sanctioned event and we will be judging all 28 BJCP 2008 Styles for this competition!

A note for new entrants: Homebrew competitions are not normally spectator events, and the NERHBC is in that category. If you have never participated, and would like to do so, you may sign up as a steward, and as such will participate in the event and learn how a competition is run. You must be over 21, and able to commit to a full day at the competition (from 8:30am - 3:30pm).
