We are also looking for judges or stewards of all skill levels to help at the contest, which will be on site and you get into the Renaissance Festival for free the day you help out.For more information about the contest, including a list of accepted brewing styles, entry information, and judge/steward sign-up, check out our website: www.rennfestbeercup.com.
