We all need a bit of help keeping up to date with the plethora of UK homebrew competitions. The UK homebrew competition calendar aims to keep us up to date. We’ll do our best to keep it up to date, so it can be used as a valuable resource for ACB and other homebrewers.
If nothing else, there’s a link to each competition’s current homepage. And a list of clubs that put on a competition.
If you know of any national BJCP endorsed UK homebrew competitions that are missing, please comment below and we’ll get them added. This page is intended to be used as a useful resource for all homebrewers, helping them to plan.
