The Brewster’s Cup series, sponsored by Brewtensils Hombrew Supply Shop, is the DRAFT homebrew competition series.  The Brewster’s Cup Series is a homebrewing competition designed to promote brewing in the Miami Valley.  BrewTensils and DRAFT would like to help elevate a brewer’s capabilities while creating a spirit of competition.  With each competition in the series we will hope to increase judging opportunities for our local and regional judges while promoting Dayton’s local Homebrewer’s club DRAFT.

The Series winner is based on a point system.  Points will be awarded on the following scale.

  • 1 Point awarded for each competition entered (1 point per competition max).
  • 2 Points awarded for flight winners.
  • 2 points for 3rd in Best of Show.
  • 3 Points for 2nd in Best of Show.
  • 4 Points for 1st in Best of Show.

The only exception is Beerfest where flight winners will receive the Best of Show points scale.

You can always check Cup Standings to see who is currently in the lead.
