By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Jefferson Park · November 19, 2025

Jefferson Park's local brewers are preparing their finest recipes as Jefferson Park Forward (JPF) gets ready to host its third annual Homebrew Competition on Friday, November 12. The community-focused event will showcase neighborhood brewing talent while bringing residents together to celebrate craft beer culture on Chicago's Northwest Side.

The competition, organized by the active neighborhood association, serves as both a fundraiser for local initiatives and a platform for amateur brewers to share their creations with fellow community members. JPF, a registered non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, continues its tradition of hosting events that foster neighborhood connections while supporting community programming. The event follows other successful JPF community events this year, including the popular Community Stage at Jeff Fest and seasonal community meetings featuring updates from local businesses and organizations.

Residents interested in participating as competitors or volunteers can contact Jefferson Park Forward directly via email. Beer enthusiasts and community members alike are encouraged to mark their calendars for what promises to be an exciting celebration of neighborhood brewing talent. For more information about registration, judging criteria, and categories, follow JPF's social media channels in the coming weeks.
