HIP Fermenters threw their third annual Brew Oahu Homebrew Competition and the newly dubbed Brew Camp in time for Learn to Homebrew Day. The judging was AHA/BJCP sanctioned again this year, with judges coming from around the islands. October 24 and 25 we all met at Homebrew in Paradise in Kalihi to taste almost 100 entries. It was two full days of beer, with delicious meals donated by Waikiki Brewing Company and Square Barrels. 

 On the two judging days, we judged lots of standouts, with delicious quality beer, cider, and mead. You can see the full list of winners here: WINNERS LIST. Justin & Jenn Rivera’s Ilio IPA took home Best of Show.

In conjunction with Learn to Homebrew Day, the club also had a BREW CAMP complete with brewing demonstrations, a chili cook-off, and the awards ceremony. Another great event, I’m looking forward to next year!
