I’m worthy because I’m the best. My Saison was well received last year and I plan to repeat a solid showing with my Super Hop IPA.
Negative Brewing Company
I have been brewing on and off for 5 years now, slowly making my way from extract kits to all grain. I have just recently finished my all grain electric brewery in my basement. I built everything from the control panel to the silver solder joints on my kettles. I am working towards creating beers that are not only tasty but repeatable. This will be a good opportunity to see if I can create a beer that people enjoy. Thank you for the opportunity. Sorry for the poor picture quality.
@6s&7s; Fermentationists
To be “at sixes and sevens” is a British English idiom used to describe a state of confusion or disarray.
Here @6s&7s homebrew we ferment the world!
I’ve been Homebrewing for several years now, and slowly I’ve moved away from the humdrum recipes and beer kits. I’ve been trying to focus on recipe development and personalizing my beers into unique and tantalizing experiences. While most of my fermentations are wild, traditional clean beers always have a place in my kettle.

I’m worthy because I’m professionally trained to make yeast (and other biological entities) do what I want them to do. After moving into a new neighborhood I began homebrewing 3 years ago directly via whole-grain methods after my neighbor (homebrewer for 10+ years) learned that I was a biochemist and convinced me to invest ~$2000 into the equipment I knew would work best. After finishing my basement with a dedicated 120sq. ft “brew room” (complete with microscope, cell counters, etc.); I make awesome beer due to controlled experimentation and a little art!
Pixelated Pints
We’re only Homebrewers, so nothing is for sale. Like NES cartridges though, we’ll trade beer with you; We’re always down with that. We like talking about hop varieties, IBUs, power-ups, and boss battles.

Pixelated Pints would love to return this year with a delightfully aromatic offering that’s bursting with tropical citrus. Having attended each Worthy, and participated in the first Homebrew competition, we know what the people at the Craft Beer Showcase need! We’ve attended several competitions in the past and even participated in Sierra Nevada’s Beer Camp, but now we’re seeking the win at the Worthy and a chance to brew at ABC!

I am worthy because I brew my beer for fun, enjoyment and experimentation, not just for competition. That said, I won first place at the 2014 Holyoke Canoe Club Brewfest homebrew competition and third place at the 2014 Worthy homebrew competition. I don’t use the most sophisticated or expensive equipment, in fact most of my Homebrewery consists of repurposed items. I take great pride in transforming this equipment into something useful to brew with, such as my old 12-gallon Cambro cooler mash-tun. I take similar pride in experimenting with new ingredients. My entry for this competition is an IPA made in the spirit of a farmhouse ale, brewed with a generous helping of malted wheat, unrefined cane sugar, and lots of fruity and citrusy hops. This beer is light in body, full on flavor, and perfect for a warm summer day.
Sherwood Brewing
Last year my father surprised me and entered The Worthy with his Maibock Homebrew. He received allot of positive feedback on his beer and collected quite a few chips in his bucket. Since then I’ve been his assistant brewer on a regular basis and we’ve made some great beers together. We brewed a RyePA this past weekend specifically for The Worthy this year and would love to showcase our beer at this event.
Riot Brewery
Last year was my first worthy challenge, and it was accepted, I was the first Homebrewer to run out of beer (in 40 mins no less), the beer nut loved it (got both of his tokens), finished in the top half of the group. This year I believe I will take it all. I have worked hard to perfect this recipe in honor of my second child and the hoppy punch will take you to hoppy place.
Poison Dart Brewery
The Belgian Triple Rye, has Newport hops and rye to add a little spice.
The Rye Double IPA is a little spicy with Citra, and Amarillo hops.
I am worthy because I have proven over the past several years to brew excellent brews. The photo attached shows the brewing process of the Triple on Big Brew day in Westfield.
