I'll come back and edit this post to get everyone in it alphabetically, to link all of the sponsors, and to provide dollar amounts for each, but I just wanted to get this started.

As of right now, we have twenty confirmed sponsors for the 2016 BrewUnited Challenge, with prize contributions at somewhere around $3800 (at least). Considering that we were just a fuzz over ten sponsors in this time last year... I'm very excited.

Sponsors include:

SS Brew Tech (7 gallon Chronical, ARV $395)
HomeBrewSupply
BrewerShirts
The Brew Bag
Label Peelers
Lavatools
Half Yankee Workshop
Chapman Brewing Equipment
Craft Meister
JaDeD
GigaYeast
Bootleg Biology
Brulosophy
Experimental Brewing
GrogTag
BottleMark
BeerSmith
Accidentalis
Alabrew
Dave Gorham (custom tap handles)

There are multiple other sponsors in the works right now, as well.

So yeah... the prizes will once again be BANANAS.

Also, I hope that it goes without saying, but if you are involved with a homebrewing-related company (or know of one) that we should contact as a possible, please do let me know!

Obviously, some of the larger online brew shops: Midwest, MoreBeer, Rebel Brewer, and the likes. 

You've got the yeast folks except for White Labs and Wyeast.

Maltsters? Briess. Rahr. Maybe some smaller producers like Riverbend Malting.

Well, we've added sponsor number twenty-one - Homebrew Finds is back again this year, and will be contributing a $50 gift certificate to the winner's choice from a list of major homebrewing supply shops.

Also, Label Peelers is kicking in an additional $25 gift certificate above and beyond what they donated last year!

I got three more sponsor confirmations today. As soon as I know exactly what they are donating, I'll update the thread with details.

Okay, one of yesterday's confirmations has clarified their donations.

Let's all welcome Keg Connection as a returning sponsor! Keg Connection is graciously donating a "build your own" jockey box, as well as a CMB V3S creamer faucet, for a total retail value of ~$194.

This definitely puts us above $4000 in prizes already!

One correction - CM Becker is acting as their own sponsor with the creamer faucet. So more total sponsors, same total prizes.

I just got clarity from Chapman Brewing Equipment - they will be giving us three $40 codes and one $20 code to use as prizes. These codes have no minimum requirement, meaning that they spend like cash with Chapman!

Add yet another sponsor to the list - Craft Stir Plates will be donating one of their awesome custom sitrplates as a prize, and will also be creating a special coupon good for any BrewUnited member to use in their store!

Well, folks... we did it. We are now officially at more total prizes, dollar-wise, than we had last year.

Aaaaand we're now at about $5100 in donated prizes, folks.

Everyone, please welcome our newest Spotlight Sponsor - Midwest Supplies!

Midwest is providing tons of gift certificates - $25 for the 1st place winners in each Division (and in the SMaSH category), $15 for 2nd place in each of the above, and $10 for 3rd place of each. In addition, they are providing three $50 gift certificates for our Homebrew Heroes (or for other prizes, if we don't end up with three Heroes this year).

All told, that's $350 of combined gift certificate dollars from Midwest!

And the absolutely BANANAS march of the sponsors continues...

Five Star Chemicals is now officially on board! They are donating a whopping thirty eight ounce bottles of StarSan, as well as thirty one pound tubs of PWB.

We are now above $5700 worth of prizes in this thing, folks.
