Anticipated judging categories will including best IPA, Sour, Ale, Lager, and of course Best of Show. The homebrew will be celebrated on the street ( 206 State Street, Mobile AL 36603 ) in front of Iron Hand Brewing in downtown Mobile, AL.
We also have commemorative tasting glasses and t-shirts available for pre-purchase and pickup the day of the beer festival. All proceeds from brewfest donations and sales will be for the benefit of Camp SMILE.

Any additional items purchased (e.g. glasses or t-shirts) can be picked up at check-in time for the event. During the beer festival, participants may sample as many of the homebrews as they wish and may submit votes in any or all categories of the competition.
