Registration is now open for the 2013 Indiana Brewers’ Cup Competition. 

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 2012 over 1100 homebrewed and professional beers were judged over three sessions. BJCP judges, professional brewers, and BJCP apprentices (including those who have taken the test) are welcomed and encouraged to judge at this year’s competition. Judging will take place on Friday, July 12th, and Saturday, July 13th, 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.

 A website, www.brewerscup.org/ is available for judge/steward registration, entry submission, and details surrounding this years event.
