Brooklyn Wort

Join us at the Bell House to taste 30 varieties of beer from the borough's finest homebrewers. We asked brewers to submit a sample beer in a preliminary round in order to ensure that the best beers are represented at the tasting. We have blindly tasted over 85 beers. The top 30 beers/brewers will be featured on September 8th.

The $40 entrance fee to one of the tasting times includes a taste of all 30 beers, a delicious plate of food (TBD), and a chance to vote for your favorite beer. You can also feel free to hang around for a while and mingle and talk beer with all the brewers (the bar at The Bell House will be open).

The winner of the Brooklyn Wort will be based on the best overall beer. There will be no style guidelines. The total prize money is $1,000. This includes $800 for the hand-picked Judges Panel and $200 for the People's Choice Award.
