Calling all clubs! This year, we aren’t just celebrating great brews—we’re celebrating the clubs that bring the energy, the creativity, and the hospitality that make our festival legendary.

The Club Spirit Award is your chance to showcase your club’s personality. We’ll be judging everything from your campsite’s “trick-or-treat” vibe to your booth’s “Island Theme” dedication. Points will be tallied starting Friday through Saturday afternoon, and the overall winner will walk away with more than just a trophy.

🏆 What’s on the Line?

The club with the most total points wins:

• The Tacky Prize: A mystery trophy of questionable taste and high honor.
• A Banner at Your Site: Official recognition displayed right at your location.
• Priority Placement: Get an elevated spot on Campsite Callout for next year’s festival.
• The Theme Maker: You’ll get to share your input in choosing next year’s festival theme.
• Social Media Spotlight: Dedicated posts on the CHA’s website and Social Media highlighting your club to our entire homebrew community and beyond!
