Cool. Let me figure out how much it will cost to ship that far.

 

[passedpawn]

If several brewers wanted to submit, might make sense to combine all the entry in the states and send aggregate. Somebody might step up and offer to do so, then provide their address by PM to anybody who was interested. Maybe somebody in California minimize the cost to SK.

I might submit - sounds fun.

I just checked UPS with some quick estimates, which may be wrong:
12 bottles in a 12x16x10 box at 15# is $253.40 ~ $21.12/bottle
24 bottles in a 24x16x10 box at 30# is $386.20 ~ $16.09/bottle
48 bottles in a 24x32x10 box at 60# is $594.41 ~ $12.38/bottle

I checked from my zip code and one of LA zip code and the prices were the same.

 

[TallDan]

Almost a $5,000 prize for no entry fee? First post from a new user? Shirley, nobody here is going to give them their email address.

Might be legit.

HBT username matches email address on AHA website.

Edit: phone number seems to be different, could call both or email at the AHA address and find out.

So why is someone in South Korea signed up with the American Homebrew Association?

I was getting ready to price it out from that zip and then I had a flash back and an ohh moment. Then kept drinking

I think it would be funny if someone in Korea just wants lots of good beer, so they fake a competition.

I was wondering if South Korea had insanely restrictive alcohol laws / prohibition... turns out it is completely the opposite!

As soon as they post something in Korean, they'll get banned for spamming the website.

 

[madscientist451]

I spent some time reading through their webpage, looks legit from here.
Its a Nano that brews on a 1.7 BBL system. Interesting that they have 59 taps.
Their blog says they went to GABF this year and that Jamil visited their brewery when he was in Korea this year.
I'm undecided about entering, but the prize money is tempting.

 

[Homercidal]

For the price of shipping, the grand prize better include a happy ending!

 

[8rnw8]

Not sure what the conversion rate is. Is the prize money actually decent?

.00085. Not bad money.

 

[passedpawn]

I'm attempting to arrange a shipment of entries over here: Who's submitting entries to comp in South Korea? (1st prize = $4200)

If we can get enough people and somebody to be the consolidator, we can make it happen.

I wish I brewed beer

There are A LOT of Americans in South Korea. I was there '83-'84

Hello guys, this is post writer. I'm not the owner of Amazing Brewing Company, but work for their as a brewer.
We're very new brewery in Korea(opens at April, 2016) but very expanding craft brewery in Korea. Our owners, and include me, are grown up from Korean homebrew scene so we make this event for repay our scene.
The reason we post this event here is just want to make this event more bigger. Yeah, as you guys can see, this event has pretty big prize so scale of event should be more bigger. So I upload this article here and other homebrew community.
Hope you guys join us and get some from us. Thanks.
