What is it?
The Coconut Cup homebrew competition began twelve years ago as a challenge between the Miami Area Society of Homebrewers (MASH) and the Ft. Lauderdale Area Brewers (FLAB) homebrewing clubs. Participation has grown to include other Florida homebrewing clubs and we have invited homebrewers from all over to participate in our competition. 2010's Coconut Cup will be the ninth year that the Coconut Cup will be sanctioned by the Beer Judge Competition Program / American Homebrewers Association.
When is it?
March 12-13, 2010.
