Welcome to the 12th Annual – 2019 First Coast Cup

July 26th & 27th
Entry Window – June 10th – July 3rd
Drop Off Deadline – July 3rd!

Each year First Coast Cup continues to improve and this year is no different. We have made some minor tweaks that we hope will improve everyone’s overall enjoyment and make this year’s event the best yet. Last year’s event and pub crawl ended with great reviews and we intend to keep improving on our recent success. We have decided to continue to cap this year’s entries at 600. Brewers will be allowed to enter a maximum of four (4) beers for the first week of open registration and then up to an additional three (3) beers for a total of seven (7) for the remainder of the entry window. Enter early.

This year’s First Coast Cup will be held again at the Four Points by Sheraton Jacksonville on Baymeadows.

Then judging will begin the following Saturdays and Sundays (July 13th – 14th, July 20th – 21st) On Thursday, July 25th the entries will be transported from Intuition by Ice Truck to the Four Points hotel. Judging will take place Friday, July 26th followed by a Pub Crawl that evening. Saturday, July 27th final judging resumes and is followed by the Banquet and Awards Ceremony. Sunday, July 28th will be a clean up day.

***Lunch will be provided for all judges for both days (7/26 -7/27). For those of you who will be coming in from out of town and want to judge, please notify us as early as you can so we can sort the flights accordingly.
