Whether you’re a seasoned brewer or just getting started, the Master Homebrewer Program provides a platform to celebrate your dedication to crafting high-quality beer, mead, and cider. Aligned with the scoring system of the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP), this collaboration allows MASH members to participate in sanctioned homebrew competitions and receive recognition and awards based on their scoresheets. As part of MASH, you’ll have the chance to contribute to our club’s collective success while also gaining personal recognition for your brewing achievements.
