Do you have aspirations to be the next Beer Baron? If so, The Office is hosting the perfect competition for you. The Home Brewers Wars - sponsored by High Point Brewing Company, makers of Ramstein Beer - will answer the question: who is the best amateur brewer in New Jersey? The first round of competition, "The People's Choice," will be held on Tuesday, December 8th, beginning at 8pm, at all Office Beer Bar locations. Homemade beers will be judged by customers and professional brewers alike, with a victor emerging from each of the seven Office locations. On Saturday, December 12th, the seven finalists will face off at 5pm at the Montclair Office Beer Bar, where judges from High Point Brewing Company, Nash Distributors and High Grade Distributors will choose the best home brewer. The winner will receive a $100 Office gift card, have the chance to spend the day working with the brewers at High Point to create their recipe from scratch, will receive a commemorative tap handle and plaque and the first keg will be tapped during a ceremony in late January. The winner's beer will then be sold throughout our restaurants for beer lovers to enjoy. So head down to the basement and start brewing!
