M.A.L.T. 2015

The MontreAlers Homebrewing Club is happy to announce that their annual BJCP-sanctioned MontreAlers’ Ales and Lagers Throwdown (M.A.L.T.) homebrewing competition is November 7-8, 2015!

This year’s competition, part of the BrewerOfTheYear.com circuit, will be accepting all lagers and ales from the 2008 BJCP style-guide for the last time and winners will take home some amazing prizes from our generous sponsors. The Best of Show winner will not only walk away with a shiny medal to show off to friends, will also have the chance to have the winning recipe brewed at Benelux Verdun (Montreal, QC), and get some sweet prizes!
