- Encourage commerce and collaboration between hop growers and brewers,
- Introduce new brewers to Ontario’s hop-growing community,
- Promote the use of Ontario-grown hops.

To qualify, the brewer must represent a brewery that sells the beer it produces, either on-premises or through a distributor <or> be enrolled in their graduating year of an accredited Ontario Brewmaster course.
