I did a bit of searching the forums and didn't find anything that I was looking for.....
There seems to be a lot of homebrewers in the professional community I belong to locally (water and wastewater treatment civil engineers and our municipal clients). I have been thinking of doing a fun homebrew competition where we would brew a batch(style) of our choice and then have a massive party where each beer is judged by a non-brewing consumer. Each brewer would collect something like $0.50 per 2 or 4 ounce sample.......which all goes into a large (hopefully) pot of cash. Then, each person votes for (judges) each beer and the winner takes all!!! HOWEVER, rather than taking it home, the kitty would be donated in the winner's name to the charity of choice. In our case, there are organizations such as Water for People........or Engineer's Without Borders......and there are tons of others....that would be recipients of the donation.
Anyway, hopefully that gives you an idea of where I am going. Has anyone done any kind of non-BJCP competition where you have drafted some basic guidelines and rules to abide by? If so, please let me know. I would love to see something to use as a starting point.
Cheers!
