GTA Brews is excited to announce our 7th annual nation-wide homebrew competition for beer, mead, and cider: Brew Slam 2024 (#BrewSlam)!
This is a BJCP sanctioned competition and is part of the Canadian Brewer of the Year (BOTY) circuit. Judging will be performed by BJCP ranked judges and pro brewers using the 2021 BJCP Guidelines.
Brew Slam has thousands of dollars in prizes up for grabs. If feedback alone isn't enough to convince you to enter the competition, then the list of prizes should be!
Visit the Rules and Submission Instructions page!
The rules and submission instructions are fairly standard and relaxed, but please make sure to give them a quick look. This page also has the addresses for our drop off and shipping locations.
Visit our BJCP Competition Guide!
First time entering a competition? Want a quick refresher/overview about how it works? This guide also explains why no beer is ever out of style when entered correctly, every beer you can brew has a home in the BJCP Guidelines.
Visit our Volunteer page
We need as many volunteers as possible to make this competition a success. If you are reading this, and are able to be in Toronto Oct 22nd, 27th, 28th, 29th, and/or "TBD Award Ceremony", we need your help. We need judges, stewards, and even bottle sorters.
Toronto has the largest pool of BJCP judges in Canada which allows us to keep flight sizes low and focus on the best quality judging and feedback possible.

Awards Ceremony: Nov 23, 2024 at Common Good Beer Company (475 Ellesmere)
