Hello Brew Buds! Señor Brew™ intended to post this calendar before any of the competitions listed actually occurred, but he didn't. Sorry!
It's not a comprehensive list of competitions by any means, just the events that Señor Brew™ intends to compete in this year. As you can see, most are in Southern California, where Noble Square Brewing is now based, but a few are national, and of course the list includes the Chicago Beer Society competition, where Señor Brew™ is a member in exile.
The dates are an approximation of when Señor Brew™ needs to send in his entries, not the actual date of the contest. If you're entering any of these competitions yourself, first of all, good luck. You'll need it competing against Señor Brew™--look at all of his shiny ribbons at the top of the page! Secondly, check the sites for the competitions for the actual dates--Señor Brew™ may have them wrong, they may not be available yet, or he may be sending them in the early part of the entry window due to other circumstances.
