Ready, Set, Brew

Nothing says summer like a nice cold beer in hand. But have you ever thought about what goes into making beer? I can’t say that I have either. Then, there are people like the ones judging this weekend’s Brewers’ Cup who can identify all the different flavors in different beers.

With 23 professional brewers entering 310 different beers and 764 home brewers entering 764 beers, The Indiana State Fair Brewers’ Cup is one of the largest competitions in the country. This weekend will mark the 13^th annual competition at Farm Bureau Building on the Indiana State Fairgrounds.

Certified Beer Judges from all over the country will taste test the best brews in the Hoosier state. Winners will have the opportunity to brew their winning recipe at a local pub, rights to a traveling banner, trophy and bragging rights.

Although the event isn’t open to the public, you can catch a glimpse into the world of home brewing during the fair when all entries will be on displayed and experts will be their to answer questions on all things brewing.

Judging begins today and goes through Saturday, July 9. Stay tuned for winners and results next week!
