  • The World Famous Lunar Rendezbrew Paper Airplane Contest - Can a plane be created in 15 minutes with 4-ft of butcher paper? Will it fly? How far? Can it go where it is aimed? No, you cannot wad up your paper and throw it. Add a room full of rocket scientists and watch what happens!
  • Bubba's Beer Tasting - There are more of them out there than you realize. I was talking about Bubba Beers, not Bubba. He's a nice guy. This is tougher than it looks. They're cheap but are they amusing? What if we get a room full of Bubba connoisseurs?


This year we are offering two separate challenges for the brewers in the Houston Area:

First, the Long Standing and Ever Popular: LUNAR CHALLENGE!


This popular homebrew contest is open to any homebrewing club in the Houston Area! To remind all of the homebrew clubs of the Rules of the Lunar Challenge, here they are:

  1. The Lunar Challenge is based on the beer donated to the Lunar Rendezbrew by the homebrew clubs of the Houston Area.
  2. Entry is completely voluntary.
  3. This beer will be for the consumption of those attending Lunar Rendezbrew.
  4. Each club can donate as much beer as they like. They can have only one Lunar Challenge entry.
  5. It can be any style of beer as defined by the BJCP.
  6. The entry must be at least 5 gallons of beer in a Corny keg.
  7. The winning homebrew club will be determined by a subjective standard determined by BAM.
  8. The winning homebrew club, however decided, will be awarded the Lunar Challenge Shuttle-ing Trophy. This lovely trophy will be theirs to proudly display for the next year. Then it must be returned for the next Lunar Challenge!


Second, this year we are introducing the all new BATTLE BREW GALACTICA!!!!


Houston is a dynamic and growing metropolitan area. Recognizing the growth of the brewing business in the Houston Area, we decided it would be an excellent opportunity for great homebrew to be made by members of the Houston homebrewing community who deal with brewing on a daily basis in a more businesslike manner than the average homebrewers. It's an opportunity for our community's professionals; our local homebrew shop owners, brewers at brewpubs, at micro and macro breweries and such as those, to participate in a one-on-one popular vote as to who makes the best homebrew amongst the brewing professionals in the Houston Area!


The rules are even simpler!

  1. Battlebrew Galactica is open to any brewing professional or professional whose business supports homebrewing in the Houston Area.
  2. The entry can be any style of beer as defined by the BJCP.
  3. The entry must be at least 5 gallons in a Corny keg.
  4. The entry must be homebrewed. The beer cannot be produced using the equipment of any commercial brewery.
  5. Each entry will be presented to the attendees of Lunar Rendezbrew for their consideration and consumption.
  6. The winner will be determined by the popularity of their beer with the audience at Lunar Rendezbrew.
  7. The winner will be awarded the new Battle Brew Galactica Beer Enterprise Traveling Trophy for their efforts. The trophy is theirs to display for the following year. It must then be returned for next year's Battlebrew Galactica.
