Professional Scale Up Opportunities
Your beer will be evaluated by the brewery, and they will select the winner. You will not receive BJCP scoresheets for any scale-up entries.
Scale-up entries will not count against the per-brewer limit or to the overall entry limit. If you would like to add a scale-up entry and you are at the current entrant limit or we are at the overall limit, here are the steps:
- Pay your $13 entry fee via PayPal and include a note that this is for a KCBM scale-up entry
- Send an email to [email protected] (or use the contact form) with the specific category
- We will confirm your payment and add your entry manually
Entrants must be willing to travel to Kansas City for their brew day in the event they win a scale-up at a brewery.
Please specify the style and any special ingredients in the required info section of your entry.
Include your recipe when you drop off or ship your beer to us. Your recipe should be printed on a full sheet of paper. It needs to include your entry number clearly at the top and should not contain any personally identifiable information.
