While the Annual Show and conference are the main event for NAWB there are numerous other shows and competitions run throughout the year. Some are run to NGWBJ standards and are usually NAWB circles or federations. But there are a large number of beer events that are judged to the alternative standards, namely, the American BJCP system.
We have compiled a chart that shows where the BJCP styles map to the NGWBJ classes.
Excel spreadsheet is here..
The list below is a guide to various events that have become firm calendar fixtures.
Please note that NAWB has no control over these, except our Annual Show, and if you are interested in any then Facebook is your best resource to confirm actual dates for each event.
If you know of any other shows/events that are open to all home wine and beer makers then please use the Contact Us page.
