ENTRY INSTRUCTIONS AND HELP CENTER

Our Most Common Inquiries

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO ENTER?

The Stout Smackdown is free to enter!  We will will taste your beers blind and give you detailed written feedback.  This is our service to homebrewing community in Korea.

HOW MANY BEERS DO I NEED TO SEND?

Three 330 ml bottles.  This gives the judges a fresh bottle for the first round of judging, the mini-best of show, and the best of show round.

WHERE DO I SEND MY BEERS?

You can drop bottles at the KeyCraft bar in Daegu. Or you can mail them to
대구광역시 수성구 범어로19길 35, The Keycraft   Daegu Suseong-gu Beomeo-ro 19 gil 35. 053-743-0622(the phone number will make sure that someone is there to pick up your bottles and put them in cold storage)

WHAT CATEGORY DO I ENTER MY BEER IN?

I would suggest reading the 2015 BJCP guidelines before entering, but if you still have questions you can contact me.  If you added coffee, chocolate, vanilla, or other spices it should be entered into a specialty beer category.

HOW WILL I GET MY FEEDBACK??

If you attend the event, the scoresheets are available at the awards ceremony, otherwise a digital copy will be sent to you.
