Cureforwhatalesyou.com,the Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant, and the First State Homebrewers are teaming up to promote home brewing, and you are invited to be a part!

The Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant located in Newark, DE will be hosting the 1st Annual Cure for what ales you Home Brew Fest!

This Event Takes Place on Sat, April 5th 2008

We are inviting any area home brewers to sign up and share your brew! This event is being hosted to showcase the awesomeness of home brewing to those unfortunate souls who have never brewed before.

Competition

A panel of professional brewers and certified judges will be on hand to discuss home brewing and taste our home brewed beer; together with are guests they will decide who has the best beer in the five following categories:

Light

Dark

Wheat/Belgian Style

Hoppy

Best of Show

More categories may be added as we put together final prizes for our home brewers. Prizes have yet to be determined but are sure to make all home brewing worth the effort!

Rules

So how do you get in on the action? We currently have 50 slots available for the home brewing contest. The rules are as follows:

• Each home brewer must supply our guests with a minimum of 200 ounces of beer. You’ll need to have enough for our guests to taste!
• Brew your own beer and go nuts. We prefer kegged beer, but if you have to bottle yours, that’s fine. This is NOT a sanctioned event so there’s no need to worry about specific bottling or numbering rules.
• You must have registered by the FEBRUARY 10th, 2008! We will need to know you’re coming!

Again, this is not a sanctioned event and is not designed to be like one; we encourage all to come have a good time and share your home brewing hobby with others!

In addition to the home brews, Iron Hill and some surprise guests will have special beers on tap to add to the festivities. We will update this page as guest breweries confirm they’ll be coming.

The cost to come and enjoy home brews? FREE

For you home brewers, this event is a great way for you to share your talents with the world and spread the joy of home brewing. For everyone else, it’s a chance to taste some great home brewed beer and learn about a fun and exciting hobby!

To register for a slot in the Home Brew Fest, contact us (ATTN: Eric Hebert) with your contact information and beer info, and we will confirm your slot.

Also, be sure to bookmark this page for updates on special guests, prizes, and more. This looks to be an exciting day for craft beer!
