The 2013 Indiana State Fair Brewers’ Cup will be judged on July 12th and 13th with winners celebrated at the Awards Reception on July 13th. Online entries will open June 14th and close promptly at 7 pm on Friday, June 28, 2012. You may ship or hand-carry your entries to arrive at Sun King Brewing from Friday, June 14, through Saturday, June 29, 2013. Please note that we require three (3) bottles per entry. The extra bottle is to ensure that all beers in the mini best of show round are freshly opened.
The Brewers’ Cup features both a homebrew and a professional division with 1124 total entries in the 2012 competition. The homebrew division is a qualifying event for the Masters Championship of Amateur Brewing (MCAB). This means that all first place winners in BJCP categories 1-19 and 22 are eligible to participate in the 2014 MCAB competition.
Indiana professional brewers compete for the coveted Indiana Champion Brewer award. In an effort to align with other professional beer competitions and based on feedback from Indiana Breweries, a new point structure has been implemented for 2013. While unlimited beer entries are still allowed and encouraged, only 12 entries will count towards the Champion Brewery Award. The first 12 beers listed on your entry form will be the 12 beers that are eligible to score points towards the Champion Brewery Award. Please choose carefully and be sure to prioritize your entries accordingly.
Good luck!
The Indiana State Fair Brewers’ Cup is one of the country’s largest competitions and couldn’t exist without the support of sponsors, judges, stewards and support staff. A big thanks to the Indiana State Fair who financially underwrites the competition and provides facilities and staff. The Brewers of Indiana Guild is a BIG supporter of the competition as are the following sponsors:
