Sign up to judge or volunteer at the NHC 2015
The competition would not be possible without hundreds of volunteers giving up their time to help out. And the success of this competition means that 2015 is going to be bigger than ever. So volunteers are needed. Even if you don’t want to enter your brew, this is a great opportunity to mingle and check out the homebrewing talent. And if you want to get up close and personal with each of the homebrew entries, see if you can’t become a judge.
