Ballast Point Brewing and Spirits is once again partnering with the San Diego Padres for the 2nd<\/sup>annual Padres Home Brew Contest. The winning brewer will have the opportunity to throw the first pitch at an upcoming Padres game as well as have their winning brew produced and sold by Ballast Point.<\/p>\n

Contest entries can be officially submitted at Ballast Point\u2019s Home Brew Mart (Linda Vista) location starting on Tuesday, July 30th<\/sup>and ending on Saturday, August 3rd<\/sup>. The contest is free to enter and open to any home brewer aged 21 and up. For the beginner and novice brewer, supplies and advice can be found at Home Brew Mart. Through the contest, Ballast Point is looking to further educate the community on the art of home brewing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking to make the contest an even bigger success than it was last year,\u201d said Ballast Point\u2019s specialty brewer, Colby Chandler, \u201cBaseball fans are craft beer fans, and we are happy to partner with the Padres on this contest to introduce fans to the art of home brewing.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s winner will get to throw the ceremonial first pitch at the Padres vs. Pittsburgh Pirates game on Monday, August 19th<\/sup>. The winner will also have their winning brew produced by Ballast Point to be sold at Ballast Point locations.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s winning home brewer, Erik Parker, won with his strong Pale Ale, \u201cTime to Panic,\u201d and enjoyed the opportunity to help produce his beer on a larger scale at Ballast Point.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor nothing more than a local home brewer who loves the hobby, this was a killer experience and I\u2019m stoked to have Ballast Point Brewing & Spirits and the San Diego Padres supporting the home brew community,\u201d said Parker on his blog, Vintage63Brewing.<\/p>\n
