Nebraska Homebrew Club Shootout |
| Nebraska Homebrew Club Shootout is an
annual homebrew competition hosted by the OmaHops or Lincoln
Lagers. The event started in 2002 as a friendly competition
between the two clubs. It gave the club members an excuse to
get together and sample some of the clubs' finest beers.
Each year four style categories are chosen well in
advance. A fifth category called "Best Damn Beer" (BDB) is
an open category.
Overall scoring for the categories is based on a point
system. Each 1st place beer receives 2 points.
Each 2nd place beer receives 1 point. The same scoring
scheme is used in the Best of Show (BOS) round where the top four beers
go head to head.
Here's the twist, the winner of the BDB category does not progress to
the BOS round, but is used to decide who wins in case
of a points tie. The winning club is awarded a traveling
trophy and bragging rights for the next year. |
