Two decades ago, Ballast Point Brewing was founded in the back of Home Brew Mart. We started as home brewers, so 20 years later, we're bringing it back to how it all began…by announcing ourOriginal Gravity Homebrew Competition.
We aren't complete strangers to homebrew competitions but this will mark our first nationwide contest that is also BJCP-sactioned. Six regional winners will be brought to San Diego to scale up their home brews at Ballast Point’s research and development brewery in San Diego, and one grand champion will be chosen among them to become a packaged beer.
But that's not the only announcement - we are bringing back our biggest anniversary party yet! The champion homebrew will be announced at Ballast Point’s 20th Anniversary Event taking place on Sunday, September 4th in San Diego. We are bringing back our biggest anniversary party yet where we'll have a ton of our beers and showcase each of the regional winners of the Original Gravity Competition.
