The Brewers Cup is fully supported by the Indiana State Fair and is organized by a core group of beer geeks that take the competition seriously but have fun doing it. To provide the best possible feedback to entrants, the majority of judges are BJCP certified or professional brewers. The Awards Reception after the competition is a fun finale to the day. Entrants and judges gather over beer and appetizers to honor the award winners and to celebrate good beer and brewing. This is a great opportunity to experience the real community of beer aficionados.
