Enable Cookies Homebrew Competition

It has been awhile since our last homebrew comp and we decided it was time. No excuses on our part.

Oh, the humble cookie. Invented right here in Silicon Valley by Netscape in early 90’s. These ubiquitous little things are the fun, quirky side of the internet. We decided it is time to enable maximum cookie character in a big stout. Bring on the supercookie! The loosely defined pastry stout is quickly spreading across the interwebs. They have even found their way into our glasses! We decided it was time to Enable Cookies in a tasty winter treat. There are only 2 rules to allow for creative interpretations and experimental brews, after all that is what homebrewing is about, experimenting. Happy brewing!

Rules:

1. COOKIE, COOKIE, COOKIE Character. Whatever type of cookie you want, however you want to highlight flavors, we will judge entries based on their incredibly delicious cookie character.

2. All entries with complete recipes must be submitted by Dec 12. No exceptions

Recommendations & Resources

1. Aim for 7%ABV, above 10% ABV is even better. Why? You wouldn’t put a featherweight fighter up against a heavyweight. It is not a fair fight. We love our sessionable beers, but it is time to bring you big brewsers.

2. Check out a few of our favorite resources for some inspiration and learning.

Beer Brewing Class at Barebottle Brewing Co.

Learning to brew beer is among the most important survival skills one can acquire!

The class is taught by Chris Thompson, a competition-winning homebrewer and Certified Beer Judge

Our Story  

Over many years of entering and judging beer competitions, we noticed a simple, but largely unrecognized insight: some of the best, most innovative beers in America are being brewed by homebrewers. In almost every competition we judged, the award-winning homebrewed beers were more inventive and daring than the majority of commercially available beers on the market. That insight, along with an enduring passion for the craft of beer making, led us to create Barebottle, a San Francisco crowd-inspired craft brewery.

Barebottle Brewing Company was co-founded by Lester Koga, Michael Seitz, and Ben Sterling, three friends and former classmates at Cornell Business School in Ithaca, NY. After moving from Ithaca to the Bay Area in 2007, the three began homebrewing, became certified beer judges, and began winning medals at homebrewing competitions. Barebottle brews innovative beers inspired by the San Francisco Bay Area using local ingredients wherever possible, and partners with local homebrewing groups to develop new beers using a competitive method.

Barebottle is located at 1525 Cortland Ave San Francisco, CA 94110.

Our philosophy and process are pretty simple….

1. Use the things that inspire us every day from the Bay Area as the foundation for each new beer we make.

2. Inspire our merry band of super talented brewing comrades ( head brewer, the founders, and the Bay Areas best homebrewers) to create new beers.

3. Just like in regular competitions, we pilot brew a select group of beer finalists and ask the public to vote for their favorite.  may the best beer always win.

We believe this approach will lead to some amazing beers, we hope you are eager to help  us try some of them.
