Op. Bravo is a hero appreciation event and BJCP Sanctioned Homebrew Competition hosted by Homebrew 4 Heroes, Shannon Brewing Company and Texas Brewing Inc.
What better way is there to give back to our heroes than with a hand crafted brew? Op. Bravo allows brewers to pour their beer for heroes, get immediate feedback and provides them a chance to say thank you in person.
Heroes (current and former members of ANY branch of the military along with Police, Fire and EMS) will be a “beer judge” for the day and will cast their vote for their favorite beer. At the end of the event, the brewer with the most votes will receive a People’s Choice award.
Where and when is Op. Bravo?
Op. Bravo will be held from 12-5pm on November 12, 2016 at Shannon Brewing.
How much does it cost?
Heroes can be a “beer judge” for the day for FREE (with credentials). If they wish, they will be able to purchase a tour at Shannon Brewing for a reduced price (Normal tour is $10) and receive a commemorative pint glass to take home with them.
Homebrewers can enter their beer in the competition for a $25 fee (includes a commemorative pint glass, tour at Shannon Brewing, exclusive offers on HB4H merchandise and eligibility for some AMAZING prizes).
