I'm planning to enter a saison I recently brewed into a local homebrew competition. The beer is around 7.4% ABV, but the BJCP style guidelines (which will be used for judging this competition) show saisons being in the 5-7% ABV range.
My question is, will my beer likely be accepted into the Saison category, even though it's just outside of the BJCP style range? Or will I be forced to enter it as a Belgian Specialty Ale? It's an AHA/BJCP sanctioned competition, so the OG and FG have to be disclosed. Any help would be appreciated.
