29 - WIDE OPEN STYLES (NOTHING THAT COULD BE
CONSIDERED A HEALTH HAZARD PLEASE) Any beer with
characteristics that would identify it as being made for,
and in the spirit of, Halloween. Individual qualities
such as aroma, appearance, and flavor should be part of the
“Halloweeness” of the entry. Brewers should specify the
style (if any) and any unique ingredients as appropriate.
Please note: This category will be judged with the theme
in mind. The beer will receive points for overall quality
AND for its “Halloweenness” (i.e. how well it fits the
Halloween theme). The name of the beer will be considered in
the judging process. To insure anonymity, brewers are
encouraged to name their beer accordingly (i.e. please
don’t incorporate your name, initials or any other wording
that would identify the beer as yours). Have fun!
Due to the “unique” nature of this category, the Gold
medal winner will not be eligible to compete for Best
of Show. Also, medallists in this category will not accumulate
points toward the Great Pumpkin Award.
Brewers are allowed to enter more than one beer in
this category.
