Dixie Cup XXVII

The Dixie Cup is one of the nation’s oldest homebrewing competitions and is noted for its great mix of irreverent fun as well as its seriousness about beer.

Over the course of the two days of formal activities, you will have many opportunities to learn about beer and brewing from some of the nation’s finest homebrewers, professional brewers, noted brewing authors, and industry experts.

Although we have as much fun as possible at the Dixie Cup, the competition remains the most important aspect of the event and we take the judging very seriously.

Earn the respect of your wives, husbands, domestic partners, kids coworkers, and fellow homebrewers by winning a medal (or two) at the world-famous Dixie Cup. Dixie Cup is a tradition steeped in history and barleywine, one of the largest and longest-running homebrew competitions in the nation.

The Foam Rangers homebrew club is now accepting entries for the 27th annual Dixie Cup, “Strange Brew”, a BJCP-sanctioned competition. An unlimited number of homebrewed beers, ciders, and meads may be entered, but no more than two per medal category. The entry fee is $7 per entry online, and $8 per entry if paper entry forms are used until September 17, 2010. After that, it’s $10 per entry until the deadline of September 24, 2010.

Dixie Cup is also the last leg of the Lone Star Circuit and is an MCAB qualifying event.
