The Great American Beer Festival is not only about sampling quality beer but its also a beer competition. Breweries enter their beers to be judged by the festival's professional judge pannel. Festival attendees can also sip the beer entered in the competition during the tasting sessions.
The Great American Beer Festival invites industry professionals from around the world to sit together in small groups and, without knowing the brand name,taste beers in each specific style catagory. The ultamate goal of The Great American Beer Festival judge panel is to identify the three beers that best represent each beer-style catagory as described and adopted by The Great American Beer Festival.
The professional judge pannel awards gold, silver, and bronze medals that are recognized around the world as symbols of brewing excellence. These awards are among the most coveted in the industry and heralded by the winning brewers in their national advertising.
Five different three-hour judging sessions take place over the three-day period during the week of the festival. Judges are assigned beers to evaluate in their specific area of expertise and never judge their own product or any product which they have a concern.
