The following is a list of the home brew competitions that we are aware of:
New York State Homebrewer Of The Year (NYSHOTY)
The NYSHOTY is an annual competition that culminates each year with the New York State Fair Homebrew Competition. The winner is based on the total points each brewer is awarded from different New York State competitions throughout the year. The 2005 winners were SCBC's own Kevin Flood and Mick Barnes.
