How do I submit a beer into the Maritime Home Brew Challenge?
To submit a beer you must provide up to 6 bottles of the beer ~ 355mL or larger. You must drop it off by October 27th to your local Gahan House with a completed submission form (submitted online at homebrewchallenge.gahan.ca). There is also a $30 fee (per beer) to enter a beer into this challenge that must be paid upon drop off.

Do I need to fill out a submission form online before I drop off my beer?
Yes- please fill out your submission form above. A separate form must be submitted for each brew you’re entering in the Maritime Home Brew Challenge.
How do I pay?
You can pay with cash, credit or debit at the Gahan House location you are dropping your beer off to. Once this is paid, you will receive a complimentary Maritime Home Brew Challenge t-shirt (not bad, eh?!).
Can anyone submit a beer?
Yes – as long as you are not a certified brewer or brew for your career and you are over the age of 19.
