The Homebrew Competition Remembering Historic and Long-Forgotten Beer Styles
American Dark
Interesting.
Can you point to a document providing something of a sensory description ?
I’ve done a brew called Tella which is a beer from Ethiopia that is passed down from families for generations.
Ranges from amber to dark like an indigenous porter. They use Gesho Kittel (leaves of a native buckthorn) as a hops substitute, Teff bread, and a native barley.
Added to Accepted Styles – thanks.
Altbier
Altbier is great – and is currently a fully-fledged and recognized style (non-historic, non-pending) by the BJCP.
How about Velveteen Caramei. https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/velveteen-caramel/
Added to Accepted Styles. Thanks.
Are pro-AM entries allowed if we work with a local homebrew club?
For simplicity this inaugural year – entries must be produced on a homebrew system.
Canadian Spruce Beer – well documented since 1535. I am working with BJCP/AHA and Zymurgy on getting this to become an official style in the guidelines. I’d LOVE to be a part of this and will happily drive to Minneapolis to be a part of it as Historical styles are by far my favorite!
Umqombothi – South African traditional style beer. Lucy Corne gave an incredible presentation on this style at NHC this year.
Jacobite Ale

I brewed this almost extinct table beer for a wedding this past October
Thank you.

How about Franconian-style Rotbier?
