Like everything else, most competitions have been cancelled indefinitely. I know some are coming back virtually or hybrid in some capacity but overall, there's just a more limited opportunity to get feedback on my homebrew.
What are people doing to get their homebrew evaluated? Is there anything out there to pay to have it evaluated by a panel of judges and get full, thorough written feedback, just not in a competition setting?
I'd imagine the judging panel would need to comprise of at least 3 judges with a ranking of Grand Master or above. Open to discussion.
There's also the issue of shipping. What if you had to ship the beer instead of dropping it off somewhere locally? Point noted that there are already inherent worries about shipping that plague this idea but interested to hear people's thoughts.
