Registration is now open for the 2014 Indiana Brewers’ Cup Competition.
Is this just another call for another brewing competition? Of course! But this is the
Indiana Brewers Cup. The competition where everyone who is anyone will
come, judge, and get paid! Plenty of bathrooms, great food, just a great experience!
Ok, that is the carrot, the pitch, and the lure. On to business.
The Indiana State Fair Brewers Cup is one of the largest Craft Beer competitions in the
country. The Brewers Cup began judging quality homebrew and professional
entries in 1999. The competition continues to have annual growth. In 2013 over 1200
homebrewed and professional beers were judged over three sessions. BJCP judges,
professional brewers, and BJCP Provisional Judges are welcomed and encouraged to judge at
this
year’s competition. Judging will take place on Friday, July 11th, and Saturday, July
12th, at the Marsh Blue Ribbon Pavilion
on the Indiana State Fairgrounds. This is a BJCP-sanctioned competition, so points will be
awarded. We also pay a small stipend to offset travel expenses to professional brewers and
BJCP judges. Judges who travel at least 50 miles one way and judge at least
two sessions will receive a $100 stipend. Local judges will be paid $12.50 per session.
We provide meals during the judging and you are welcome to stay for the Awards Reception
on Saturday evening. For Homebrewers The Indiana State Fair Brewers’ Cup will
again participate in the Masters Championship of Amateur Brewing (MCAB) as a Qualifying
Event. Consult http://masterhomebrewer.org/
for more information.
