Last year we saw a lift in the quality of the beers entered and the top medalling beers were genuinely world class.
It’s the quality of the judges that makes the NHC unique and again this year we have the best judges from all over New Zealand led by internationally renowned Geoff Griggs.
While for many the focus is on medals, the NHC is a still one of the best opportunities to get unbiased feedback and expert advice on how to make better beer. Last year there was focus on increased judge feedback to brewers and that will continue this year with a new judging sheet.
Entries need to be registered by Friday 19 October and received between Monday 8 and Friday 19 October. Shipping details and drop off points will be announced in a few weeks.
