Great American Beer Festival Winners From Iowa & Minnesota
Celebrating the suds and hops for 40 years, the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) just tapped its 2022 winners. Great Beer Now reports, there were roughly 10,000 American beers entered into this year’s competition, with 2,154 breweries represented in 100 different categories.
The annual GABF competition is judged by a professional panel of judges where ticket holders to the event can sample as many as they want.
The three beers that best represent each beer-style category are recognized around the world as symbols of brewing excellence with Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals.
