Rules

The 14th Annual Greg Noonan Memorial Homebrew Competition, hosted by the Green Mountain Mashers, will take place on Saturday April 26th, 2025 at Queen City Brewery in Burlington, VT.

This competition is BJCP sanctioned and open to any amateur homebrewer age 21 or older.

All mailed entries must be received at the mailing location by the shipping deadline - please allow for shipping time. Entries received after the shipping deadline may or may not be allowed subject to the Organizer’s sole discretion.

Entries left at drop-off locations must have an entry label attached to each bottle by rubber band only and must be dropped off in a suitable container.

Suitable containers include: 6-pack holders, 12 or 24-bottle cases, larger format bottle boxes.
Suitable containers DO NOT include: paper bags, plastic bags or no container at all.

The proprietors of drop-off locations reserve the right to refuse entries which are not appropriately labeled and/or contained/boxed. Entries left at drop-off locations will be picked up on the day of the drop-off deadline. Do not attempt to drop off entries after the deadline as they will not be accepted.

All entries must be handcrafted products, containing ingredients available to the general public, and made using private equipment by hobbyist brewers (i.e., no use of commercial facilities or operations, supplies, etc.).

The competition organizers are not responsible for mis-categorized entries, mailed entries that are not received by the entry deadline, or entries that arrived damaged.

Qualified judging of all entries is the primary goal of our event. Judges will evaluate and score each entry. The judges will assign a consensus score which is used to rank each entry in its category. We strive to make sure that each flight will have at least one BJCP judge.

Brewers are limited to a maximum of one entry in each sub-category.

Green Mountain Mashers members receive a discount of $2 per entry when they use the password provided to them. Not a member? Go to https://www.mashers.org/join-renew/ to join and we'll send you the password!

The competition organizers reserve the right to combine styles for judging and to restructure awards as needed depending upon the quantity and quality of entries. All possible effort will be made to combine similar styles. All brews in combined categories will be judged according to the style or sub-style they were originally entered in.

The Best of Show judging will be determined by a Best of Show panel based on a second judging of the top winners.

Bottles will not be returned to entrants.

If you have any questions about the rules, please contact the Organizer.

ALSO NOTE: The Green Mountain Mashers reserve the right to remove unpaid entries that have been in the system for more than 72 hours in order to make room for other entrants. Please pay for your entries as soon as possible to avoid having them removed.
