I am thinking about entering a homebrew competition at one of those beer festivals that seem to be poping up everywhere. The rules are simple. bring 2 cornys of your best beer. The patrons will vote for their favorite. The beer with the most votes wins. My concerns are:
Will this turn into a popularity contest. Where the brewer with the most friends wins?
I've always brewed beer I liked and not really cared about what the populous enjoys. I assume because they are attending a beer tasting they have some desire to taste craft beer, and not watered down light lager. But who knows.
Basically I just need help deciding what to brew. It will be difficult with the open format. I might have a super hoppy ipa right next to a brewer who brought a imperial stout. And then making the patron vote one or the other. That's insane.
Let me know what you guys think!
