2025 Results

Congratulations to all our winners and thank you to all who entered!

This a new record for us in terms of entry size, and we also want to thank the judges and stewards who got through the stack in good order.

A special thanks to DC Brau for hosting us and Taco Man Fred for the great lunch. We also want to thank Maryland Homebrew, Jay’s Brewing, The Flying Barrel, Port City Brewing, and BSG Handcraft for their support.

2025 was the second year that Cherry Blossom was part of the MHP Circuit of America homebrew competition series, and we look forward to keeping the nation’s capital on the circuit.
