WNY Home Brew Contest Will Give You The Chance For Your Homemade Beer To Be Commercialized

If you love your beer and cider and you make it home just for fun--your hobby could become BIG TIME if you win this contest that the Erie County Fair is bringing you.

If you are making beer and cider you have until the end of April to enter Erie County Fair’s Homebrew Competition. The winner will be commercially brewed! The deadline to enter in April 30th. If you win the Gold medal for excellence in the competition, the Erie County Fair Homebrew Competition’s top entry will be professionally brewed and named the 2021 “Erie County Fair Best In Show Beer.”

You can enter up to 5 different brews. Each entry costs 15 dollars, but each entry you receive a voucher for a ticket to the Fair. On the Erie County Fair website, here is how you can drop off your entries:
