It's back! The Harvest Challenge is a fun cider competition showcasing our customer's creativity! You can enter anything you want as long as it was made with our fresh 2018 Bulwark Cider juice.
Keep it simple or add any ingredients you like to make a unique creation. Add some fruit puree? How about a raspberry lime cider? Or a spiced cider? Or a blueberry ginger cider? Try it with some hops or change the yeast to something funky. The sky is the limit.
• Your name will live forever in lights at Burnside Noble Grape on our Bulwark Harvest Challenge winner’s plaque.
• Bulwark will release a small batch of your winning entry, you get a 6 pack and street cred!
Noble Grape and Bulwark are happy to accept your entry(s) at no cost! You will get everything you need to enter when you pick up your cider.
Each participant is welcome to enter up to three different ciders.
First time entering a brewing competition?
No worries! It’s fun and easy. Just make sure you fill out the entry tags completely and include all special ingredients.
You are only required to list any ingredients that were added or changed from the original kit, but feel free to include any additional information about your recipe or process.
Please submit 3 BOTTLES PER ENTRY.
Bottles must have no identifying marks or information. Bottle ID tags are included with your cider package. They must be attached to each bottle by elastic band or tape. This is to ensure there is no chance of judging bias.
12 oz (~355 mL) brown bottles are preferred; however if necessary, we will also accept plastic and green or clear glass bottles up to 22 oz in size and corked bottles. Bottles will not be returned at the completion of the competition.
Note: This is not an officially sanctioned BJCP event, however you will still receive formal feedback in the BJCP format from 2-3 judges, at least 1 of which will be a certified judge. You should get some helpful pointers and suggestions from these forms.
Bulwark retains the sole rights to produce, reproduce, change, and name any entry without royalty, compensation, or limitation.
