If you have already registered for this years event, our eternal gratitude and thanks. I am including the entire list in case there is opportunity to forward to another judge or club that might be able to take advantage of judging with us this year. We would like to have another 20 - 25 judges for this years event. If you are still deciding please strongly consider registering now and be part of one of the great competitions.
Remember and note the incentives of $100 stipend for judges participating in at least two sessions and traveling more than 50 miles from Indianapolis while local judges will receive a $12.50 stipend per session. Fairground parking for judges is waived, the food is great, and the water is free.
I am including previous email content to remind or refresh all information. Please go to the brewerscup.org website to register and contact me at ibcjudge@gmail.com for any questions you can't find the answer.
Thanks again and look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the Brewers Cup!

Planning is still underway for the 2012 Indiana
Brewers’ Cup Competition
The Indiana State Fair Brewers Cup
is one of the largest competitions in
the country with approximately 1000 professional and amateur entries. 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 6th, and Saturday,
July 7th, 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.
We are also announcing to homebrewers that the Indiana State Fair Brewers’
Cup has been invited to participate in the Masters Championship of Amateur
