Additional Notes:
To allow for accurate judging the brewer must provide additional information about the entry including primarily the historical beer style being emulated or recreated, and any unique ingredients used and/or processing which contribute to perceived sensory outcomes. The brewer may include historical context about the entry. This information will help provide a basis for comparison between highly diverse entries, and is reviewed and edited by the competition manager to remove bias. Entries not accompanied by this information will be at a disadvantage during judging.
