There are several competitions that the Beer Barons participate in as a club. The AHA Club-Only Competition is one that we enter as a club, and State Fair Wine and Homebrew Competition is co-sponsored by the Beer Barons, Wisconsin Vinters' Association, and The Purple Foot.

The Schooner

This competition is held in Racine in conjunction with the Great Lakes Brew Fest. It's run by The Racine Belle City Homebrewers, Bidal Society of Kenosha, and The Beer Barons of Milwaukee.

Much fun for all!

AHA Club Only Competition

Competition Basics: The AHA Club-Only homebrew competition is the national homebrew competition that awards clubs for their outstanding efforts and products. The competition runs from August through May, ending in the National Homebrew Competition (NHC) Conference where the homebrew club of the year is crowned. There are six competitions during this August to May period, with each competition focusing on a predetermined BJCP style. Each club can enter ONE entry for each competition. Points are awarded on a 12, 8, 4 point basis for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places respectively. Additional points can be awarded to the club for individual entries in the NHC 1st and 2nd round on a 6, 4, 2 basis for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places respectively.

More details are on the Club Competition page.

Wisconsin State Fair Homebrew Competition

The Beer Barons co-sponsor this event with the Wisconsin Vintners Association (several of whom are members of the Beer Barons) and The Purple Foot. The event is run in conjunction with the State Fair though judging is done well in advance of the fair. See the State Fair page for more information, rules, and entry forms.
