SFBC Sub-Zero Homebrew Competition
Thank you everyone who took part in this year's SFBC Sub-Zero Homebrew Competition! Competitions are fun challenge to run, and wouldn't be possible without the judges and stewards who volunteer their time in the name of beer. We were also fortunate to have the support of our competition partner, Block Three Brewing Co., and our prize sponsor, BSG Canada. In the end, 79 beers from 52 brewers were judged and ranked.
Winners were announced and prizes awarded at our collaborative tap takeover with Block Three at Jane Bond on Sunday, March 6. Shout out to Jane Bond, who opened up specifically for us!
Entrants who could not make it to the awards ceremony will be mailed their feedback forms and prizes (if applicable).
