The Essentials :

Rolling Beers and the Beer Love Fest are thrilled to announce the opening of our homebrew 2025 competition !

Prizes and partners will be revealed in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, we can share that if one of the finalist beers is chosen as the jury’s favorite, it could be brewed by one of our partner breweries.

Additionally, the winner’s recipe will be offered as a 20-liter kit on the Rolling Beers website.

This page will evolve over the coming months, so stay tuned !

Some Details:

As every year, six categories are available. You can choose to register in 1 to 3 categories. However, only one beer per category will be accepted (e.g., you cannot register two different beers in the Light Malty category).

You will need to send 3 samples of 33cl (bottles or cans) per beer submitted. For example, if you present 3 beers, you will need to send 9 samples.

The registration fee is €10 (whether you register in 1 or 3 categories). In the case of postal shipping, costs will be covered by the participant.

You must send your samples to our location at:

226 Rue Jean Baptiste Calvignac 34670 Baillargues.

A small new feature this year requires your cooperation but will greatly simplify the organization. For each beer presented, you will receive a letter and a number (e.g., D04 or C18 – the letter corresponds to the category, and the number represents the order of registration). You must clearly write this letter and number on the cap of your bottle (or on your can).

Please read the rules for precise details.

Categories:

As every year, the competition categories remain very broad:

  • Strong Hoppy Beer >6% ABV
  • Light Hoppy Beer <6% ABV
  • Strong Malty Beer >6% ABV
  • Light Malty Beer (<6%)
  • Roasted Beer – no alcohol limit
  • Special Beers (Beers with strong yeast aromas, Brett, sour, or fruit-based – no alcohol limit)
