People’s Choice BREWING & FERMENTING Contest at Isles Anniversary
Bring your Beer, Wine, Mead, Varietals, and Fermented Foods
to the Brewers Guild People’s Choice Contest!
Saturday October 17, 2026
You read that right … PEOPLE’S CHOICE … YOU get to help choose the winner!!! (Bring your ID to taste the alcohol entries)
BREWERS & FERMENTERS: Bring out your best brewed or fermented items: beer, wine, liqueur, cheese, sauerkraut, pickles, etc. to the 2nd Brewers Guild of Caid’s People’s Choice contest! Anything that has been yeast or lacto fermented. (This is a wet site and alcohol is allowed)
The contest will run for 1 hour, probably between noon and 1pm, listen for the announcement at opening court for the actual start time.
Brewers or a representative will be responsible for dispensing their entries to the voters. The guild will provide cups, plates, and forks – you provide the fermented items.
Check in at the brewer’s booth before the start of the contest to get your entry number(s).
A lovely wine glass will be awarded to the winning entry.
If you wish to have your entry judged for rank advancement, bring documentation and leave that and your bottle on the table after People’s Choice ends. We will announce when you can come pick up your entries.
