Hard Redz Summer Brew-Off

Hard Redz Summer Brew-Off The Hard Redz Summer Brew-off is a great way to celebrate the Craft Brewing and Wheat Heritage in Kansas. But Kansas is known for its hard, red, winter wheat.

The Hard Redz Summer Brew-off connects craft brewing to Newton’s economic roots in wheat-growing. Saturday, July 9

12:00 – 2:30 VIP Judging Admission

The Hard Redz Summer Brew-off is a great way to celebrate the Craft Brewing and Wheat Heritage in Kansas. The Sand Creek Summer Daze Festival and local home brewers have partnered to create an event that explores these two industries. Brewing often

uses a type of wheat called soft, white, spring wheat – it is planted in the spring. It is planted in the fall but gets its name from lying dormant through the winter. It has more tannins in the kernel and delivers a more robust, earthy, complex flavor profile. Mennonite immigrants presented this to America in the heart of Kansas! Last year, sixteen home brewers set up tents to display their craftmanship and recipes. We invite you to sample and judge home brewing at it’s finest and meet local and surrounding communities’ craft brewers. One of these brewers will have their winning recipe brewed and served later in the fall by Salt City Brewing Company and you will get to taste it first! This year we have professional Kansas Craft Breweries competing for supremacy in our Top Professional Brewer Category. The Sand Creek Summer Daze Hard Redz Summer Brew-off Committee will announce a style of beer February 15th of which each brewery will brew to compete against each other with professional judges and YOU judging it! To enter and sample (as a VIP Judge), you must pay $10 fee at the gate. Your entry judging packet will allow you to sample and vote on your favorite home brewed beer.

Hard Redz - Kansas Brewing!

The Hard Redz Summer Brew-off is a great way to build community with other craft brewers and to celebrate Wheat Heritage in Kansas.

The Hard Redz Summer Brew-off builds upon Newton’s economic roots in wheat-growing. Brewing often uses a type of wheat called soft/white/spring wheat. But Kansas is known for its hard, red, winter wheat. It sprouts in the fall and gets its name from lying dormant through the winter. It has more tannins in the kernel and delivers a slightly more robust, earthy, complex flavor profile. Mennonite immigrants presented this to America in the heart of Kansas!

The Hard Redz brew-off is a unique Kansas event. It encourages the use of Kansas wheat and provides an opportunity for brewers to interact with each other and with professional brewers.
