Thank you for your interest in the Rising Star Pro-Am Homebrew Competition!  We have reached our entry limit, and registration is now closed.  We intend to host this competition again next year - look for an announcement in January.

 For those of you who have successfully registered, Good Luck!  Carefully package up your entry for either shipping or in-person drop-off at our 14th Ave brewery taproom. The shipping address is:

 Rising Star Pro-Am Homebrew Competition

c/o Device Brewing Co.

8166 14th Ave., Suite A

Sacramento, CA  95826

 Entry drop-off must include:

1. THREE (3) bottles (or cans) of each beer, 330ml/12oz or larger

2. One completed BJCP Recipe Form for each beer entered. Please fill this out completely, with careful attention to the Category and Sub-category information.

3. Completed BJCP Bottle IDs for each of the three bottles/cans of each entry submitted. Bottles/cans without proper IDs will not be able to be judged. Bottle IDs should be secured to the bottle with a rubber band.

4. Your American Homebrewers Association (AHA) member number. AHA membership will be required to participate in the GABF Pro-Am competition. 

We plan to conduct the judging session on May 22, 2021, and we'll post the competition winners right here!

Prizes will be awarded to First, Second, and Third Place beers in each major category (American, British, German, and Specialty) using a "Best-of-Show" format. We’ll be awarding ribbons, Device Brewing merchandise, and various homebrew equipment and supplies provided by our generous Sponsors as prizes!

Then, Device Brewing will collaborate with the "Rising Star" winning homebrewer to take their winning recipe and reproduce it, as faithfully as possible to the original recipe, on a commercial 20 BBL brewhouse. We hope to invite the homebrewer to help brew the inaugural commercial batch of the winning recipe at our brewery in Sacramento, California! Participation during the brewday will be dependent on COVID-19 guidelines.

The Rising Star beer will be available at all three Device Brewing locations. We are also planning to enter this beer in the Pro-Am category at one of the most prestigious beer competitions in the country – the Great American Beer Festival (GABF)!

Again, Thanks for showing interest in this year's competition!
