How to Submit Samples

Step 1: Complete the Sample Submission form on pages 1 & 2 (either by hand or in Acrobat).

Beer & Hops

Spirits

Beverages (Non-standard Alcoholic and non-alcoholic) & Food

Step 2: Print the completed form and place inside a suitable shipping box containing the sample(s). Juice or samples that are fermenting must be shipped/delivered on ice. If shipping, ensure samples are well padded to prevent breakage.

Step 3: Clearly label the sample(s) with the type of product and a number (ex: dark rum, #001). 

Note: Please see page one of sample forms for minimum volume requirements. Please ensure that all submitted samples are homogeneous and representative, clearly labelled and placed in new or clean, dry plastic or glass bottles (note: containers may have held water). Please see sample submission forms for full requirements.

Step 4: Mail or drop off the sample(s) – please email ahead of time if dropping off samples.

Step 5: Drop off at David Huestis Innovation Pavilion (between 9:00 and 4:30, or by special arrangements)
