On Saturday, the Brewers Association (BA) announced the winners of the 2024 Great American Beer Festival. The annual event, held this year in Denver from October 10 to 12, celebrates small breweries across the U.S. as the country’s largest professional beer competition. Approximately 9,200 beers and ciders were submitted from across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. This year, 285 judges evaluated brews across 102 beer categories and five new cider categories.
“The Great American Beer Festival continues its commitment to recognizing exceptional beverages from across the country in the 2024 competition,” Chris Williams, competition director for the BA, said in the release. “With the addition of five new cider categories, we’re pleased to recognize the best of the best in beer and beyond.”
