The Masters of the Brewniverse is a competition among breweries that gives event attendees the chance to vote for their favourite exclusive one-off brew at the event.

The one-day event is an 80’s themed celebration and friendly competition of one-off beers that are exclusive to the event, giving breweries the opportunity to showcase their creativity and win bragging rights. There will be two awards handed out: People’s Choice and the Master of the Brewniverse which will be decided by a panel of judges.

The event takes place April 18, 2020, with tickets available online in the WindsorEats shop. Each ticket provides 80oz of sampling from the exclusive one-off beers. Additional beers may be purchased.
