ABOUT LUNAR RENDEZBREW

Lunar Rendezbrew is an AHA approved homebrew competition and one of the premier competitions of the Lonestar Circuit.  Lunar Rendezbrew is a competition showcasing the best homebrew and craft beers in Texas!  BJCP 2021 guidelines will be used for this competition, and category groupings may be combined based on the number of entries (at the discretion of the BAM officers and the head judge) with a minimum category limit of 6 entries to qualify on the Lone Star Circuit.

This year we will only be accepting and judging entries for beer.  There will be no mead or cider.

Registration begins on March 11th, 2024.  The dropdown menu at the top of the page has a link for registering and submitting entries after that date.  Registration closes on April 14th and all entries must be received by April 14th.  The Bluebonnet Awards in Dallas will be a drop off point for entries for club in North Texas which is why the registration period is longer than normal.  Sitta Brew Hub is our club shipping location and primary Houston drop off location.

Entry fees for Lunar Rendezbrew 29 will be $12.00 this year.  There will be a total entry cap of 500 paid entries.  The number of beers that an individual brewer may enter will be capped at 8 paid entries.  For beers entered as a team or with co-brewers, the entry will count against the entry limit on the primary brewer listed for the entry, so please plan accordingly.  There will be a limit per brewer of 1 entry per style (subcategory).

Three bottles will be required for entry in this competition for Best of Show consideration.  Two bottles must be received to be eligible for a medal.
