Hamco Food & Brew Fest - Brewer Signup
Get ready for Year #7! All six years of the Hamco Food & Brew Fest have been sold out. The 2023 and 2024 events were at a larger location and we will be back at The Big Red Barn in 2025. Don't miss this opportunity to show off your brewing skills and reach new customers!
Both commercial breweries and home brewers are welcome to take part. To sign up, fill out the form below—providing as much detail as possible about the beers you plan to bring. Spaces are limited and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis—so don’t wait to reserve your spot.
If you want to take part, but don't yet know which beers you'll bring, you can still reserve your spot. Simply fill out the form and tell us how many different beers you expect to bring (in the Description field).
We will award cash prizes to the best brews through a simple attendee voting system. The Fan Favorite will receive a custom event trophy—and the their name will be added to the next year’s souvenir glass.
