BIG CHANGES! Two new Brewer Rankings added. See below for more information.
Also: New BJCP Cider Guidelines added two new categories and five new subcategories.
Brewer Rankings are awarded to members based on the number of beers styles, per the 2025 BJCP Guidelines, that they have brewed and entered into competition to be considered successfully brewed. Subcategories are also tracked for member information. If there are discrepancies between what is indicated below and what a member feels they have brewed, please contact one of the officers or Rick and provide scoresheets of the missing entries. It is a daunting task to track this information and we are always looking for ways to improve upon it. Please see the major Rankings as defined below:
