ASH hosts two competitions each year open to any homebrewer, regardless of club affiliation or location: the Cactus Classic and the Copper State Cup homebrewing competitions. Both competitions are BJCP sanctioned and accept all BJCP beer, mead and cider styles based on the BJCP Style Guidelines. For more information click image below:

Additionally ASH hosts small members-only mini competitions. For 2026 we will have the Pilsner Cup Mini Comp and the Mead & Cider Mini Comp. The overall schedule and themes for the mini-comps can be found here.

Members earn points by entering beers thought the year. The member with most points at the holiday party wins the title “ASH Homebrewer of the Year” and great prizes. The current HBOY Competition Leaderboard can be found here.
