ELUSIVE 10TH BIRTHDAY HOME BREWING COMPETITION
It's our 10th birthday this year and our hugely popular home brewing competition with The Malt Miller is back with a bang! Some previous winners have been helped along their journeys towards professional brewing and others have seen their name appear on can labels and pump clips across the land. This is a competition with a commercial focus, so whether you're looking to go professional or think you can brew commercial quality beer that could grace the bars of some of the country's finest pubs, this one's for you!
The brief:
We'd like you to design and execute a recipe which will become an Autumn seasonal release for Elusive. To help point you in the right direction, consider the following:
• The beer would ideally suit all of cask, keg and can as dispense formats
• The ABV therefore probably needs to max out at around 6%
• We really want to see some malt character in your beer.
• You can brew any style you like but we'll be seeking some flavour coming through from your grist selection
• You don't need to use the ingredients in the kit but these are things we thought of when considering a beer for Autumn
• We'll judge the beers on appearance, flavour, aroma and overall impression. If you make the final table, we'll have one eye on your recipe to consider the commercial viability as part of picking our overall winner
One lucky home brewer will get to:
• Win £500 cash from us + a voucher from our friends at The Malt Miller
• Brew a collab beer with us on our kit (doesn’t have to be your entry beer!)
• See your name or logo on the can, keg & cask branding
• Enjoy a launch party at a venue near you
• Get our support and guidance if you’re planning to go pro
This is our 6th competition, and some of our previous winners have gone on to launch their own breweries. You could be next!
Fancy entering? Then you’d best read these rules carefully!
Strictly one entry per person. Anyone found to have entered twice will be disqualified completely.
Your beer (3 x bottles or cans, 330ml or bigger) must reach The Malt Miller (address below) on or before 15th July. Late entries will not be accepted. Clear bottles will not be accepted. Panda Pop bottles will not be tasted. ADDRESS: The Malt Miller, Unit A2 Faraday Road, Swindon, SN3 5HQ
The beer must have been brewed fresh between your entry being secured and the delivery deadline. We’ve allowed two months for this. Aged beers will not be accepted.
Ensure that each of the packaged beers are clearly labeled with Entry Number and no other distinguishable markings on the bottles. We have a Download template you can use to make this easier.
The winner will be announced after judging has taken place on the 31st July and the judge’s decision is final in all matters.
