Think your homebrew is worthy?

If so you might want to think about entering it in Samuel Adams 2008 American Homebrew Contest.

Here’s your chance to have your homebrew brewed, packaged and nationally distributed in the 2009 Samuel Adams LongShot package! It’s simple. Well, not really. You will have to brew a winning entry, send it in to face a panel of certified American Homebrew Association judges and beat out thousands of other entries. But no one ever said taking a shot at glory was easy!

Get yourself to samueladams.com to learn all the details including how much time you have to brew and ship it to us (less than you think!). You can even purchase homebrew supplies, watch the instructional “The Art of Homebrewing” video hosted by our own Jim Koch or become a member of the American Homebrewing Association. Here are some quick facts:

Submission Window: April 15 – May 1st, 2008

Prizes: Four finalists will be awarded a trip to attend the 2008 Great American Beer Festival® in Denver, CO where Samuel Adams will announce the winning recipe to be included in the 2009 LongShot six-pack.

Good luck!
