Ponca City Main Street is excited to announce a festival created to showcase homebrewers across Oklahoma and surrounding states. They are inviting homebrewers to attend the 2021 BrewFest Festival in downtown Ponca City, OK. The festival will take place Saturday, September 25th, from 4:00 –7:00 p.m. Attendees will vote on their favorite beer of the day in the People’s Choice category. New this year – local brewery owners and craft beer experts will be judging brews as well. Each Brew Team may turn in one beer for local judging! First place in each category (People’s Choice & Judged) will take home $300 cash; Second place, $200; and third place $100.
I have spoken with the organizers of the BeerFest and they would love to have a FOAM table at the event. It is my intention to drive up to Ponca City with our 6-tap jockey box, table and other club paraphernalia. All we need are brewers that want to show case their beers at this event. Attendance is not mandatory – I will gladly transport your beer and serve it for you, but the more the merrier!
Let me know at vp-competitions@alemakers.org if you’d like to participate. There’s no entry fee, but you will need to provide me with a copy of your Oklahoma home brewer license. If you don’t already have your license, you can download the application here: https://www.ok.gov/able/documents/Small%20Brewer%20App.pdf. The license fee is $0, but it takes a couple of weeks to get the license in the mail.
Let me know by Friday, August 13 if you’re interested in participating.
