Lager Legends Brewing Competition
The Lager Legends Brewing Competition is where brewers go head-to-head to see who can make the best lager. It’s all about getting stuck into the process—tweaking recipes, dialing in fermentation, and chasing that perfect crisp finish. Whether you’re keeping it classic or trying something a bit different, it’s a fun, friendly competition where everyone’s wanting to produce their best beer and get feedback for next time.
It's free to enter, and we have prizes from Brewshop, Gladfield and Lallemand.
This is a BJCP registered competition, and beers will be judged according to the matching BJCP style. After the competition, each entry will receive a judging sheet containing the score and feedback on the beer.
The only recipe requirements, and how we are able to make this a free event, are:
- That it includes Gladfield malt where possible
- That it includes Lallemand yeast where possible
- That the majority of your ingredients are sourced from Brewshop.co.nz
To help make it easy, we have collated a bunch of lager recipe packs for different brewing styles. Simply brew it, enter, and send us your bottles. Using one of our recipe packs is not essential; you can create your own recipe keeping the above requirements in mind.
All brewing methods accepted - all-grain, extract, High Gravity Wort, brew-in-a-bag, etc.
