We're on the hunt for the best local brewing talent - who will have the chance to be showcased at our festival in February. Think you can mix hops, malt, yeast and water to the satisfaction of our CAMRA judges to reach the lips of hundreds of drinkers?
Now's your chance!
This is a great opportunity for you passionate artisans to share your nectar with some of Birmingham’s most discerning of connoisseurs 
and to get the recognition you deserve for your creativity and hard efforts.
