Bier Brewery

The 14 ^th annual Indiana State Fair Brewers’ Cup set another record for entries this year with 1,124.More than 80 judges from all over the country tasted and rated the beers over two days. Silver and bronze medals were also awarded in each of the categories, which range from American Ales to Spice/Herb/Vegetable Beer.

For the first time this year, the Indiana State Fair Brewers’ Cup was a qualifying event for the Masters Championship of Amateur Brewing (MCAB). This means that the first-place winners in each of the 23 different homebrew categories are qualified to compete in the MCAB championship competition, which will take place next year. Qualifying events are considered the biggest and best in homebrew competition, so the MCAB championship is considered a “champions’ championship,” featuring the best home brewers from across the country.
