Homebrewer requirements:
Brewers are asked to provide 3 to 5 gallons of beer per entry.  You may enter 1 or 2 beers.  Beer can be provided in the form of bottles, cans or served from the keg.  You will need to provide dispensing equipment for your keg (fittings, hoses, C02, etc.).

Legacy will provide: 
Each brewer will receive an entry package to the fest which will include two souvenir sampling glasses, two event stickers, two voting cards, and one free pint gift card.

Legacy will provide ice and entertainment.

How the fest will work:
Legacy will manage ticket sales to the fest. Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to a yet-to-be determined charity. Guests who purchase a ticket will receive a souvenir sampling glass, event sticker and voting card to vote for their favorite beer. At the conclusion of the fest, we will tally the votes and award the People’s Choice Award which will come complete with a snazzy trophy and bragging rights! 

New this year!  The winner of the People’s Choice Award will have the opportunity to brew a full batch of their beer on our system.

We hope to see you there! Please be sure to fill out the registration form below.
