The Competition

Homebrewers can bring anything in the “Beverage Family,” which includes beer, cider, and hard seltzer. This does not include wine or distilled spirits. With as many beers and homebrewers as expected to compete in this year's competition, we have decided to have several different awards within the event:

• 1st Place Overall - $100 & Official HeatWave Trophy
• 2nd Place Overall - $50 & Gift Card
• 3rd Place Overall - $25 & Gift Card

Wiener Dog Races

Here at Core, we are beer-friendly, family-friendly, and most of all... Dog-Friendly. That's why during the homebrew competition we will also be hosting we will also host a series of wiener dog races during the homebrew competition to keep the masses entertained! All dogs are welcome at our brewery, however, only dachshunds will be allowed to enter the races. We ask that you keep all dogs on a leash until the race begins. Winners of each heat will receive a Core gift card!

The Venue

Included with your ticket price, each attendee will receive a burger basket (Burger, chips, and drink) from the famous Farmer Joe! Farmer Joe's cattle are fed leftover spent Core grain after a brew day, so each burger is Core grain-fed and delicious!

There will also be live music jamming throughout the festival! Nothing better than brews and tunes. Band TBD!
