POSTED: Thursday, October 11, 2012, 10:05 AM

Calling all West Philly homebrew hustlers: Sign up for Dock Street's 2nd Annual Homebrew Competition on October 21st! Bring your finest batch of suds to their 50th and Baltimore brewpub to compete for one of two awards (and bragging rights all year). The Judges Award will be given to the best beer overall as far as flavor, trueness to style, body, and aroma, which will be determined by a panel of celebrity judges, including Rosemarie Certo, Carolyn Smagalski, 2010 Philly Beer Geek Steve Hawks, 2011 Philly Beer Geek Natalie DeChico, and Yards Brewer Frank Winslow. The People's Choice award will be given to the best beer of the day, as chosen by the attendees. 

The prizes are awesome:

Judges Award: One day with Dock Street's head brewer Scott Morrison, a $50 Home Sweet Homebrew gift certificate, $50 Dock Street gift certificate, a variety of beers from our friends at Yards, and a variety pack of homebrewing essentials from Brewers Supply Group (valued at $100).

People's Choice: A Dock Street growler and fill, a $50 Home Sweet Homebrew gift certificate, variety of beers from our friends at Yards and a pack of homebrewing essentials from Brewers Supply Group (valued at $50).

Want to throw your hops and hopes into the ring on the 21st? Email DockStreetinfo@gmail.com and mark@universitycity.org. Say you're not from West Philly, but are still interested in entering, email dockstreetmarilyn@comcast.net to see if something can't be worked out. Reasonable folks over there.

If you don't brew your own beer, but do love to drink the stuff and want to throw in your vote for the People's Choice Award, buy your ticket to the competition today. Only $8! Tix available here.
