Great American Beer Festival 2017

The Great American Beer Festival goes virtual in 2020

The Great American Beer Festival (GABF), one of America’s premier craft beer events that brings together thousands of people from all over the United States, announced that it would transition to a virtual festival in 2020. For those who have never been able to travel to Denver, Colorado for the gathering, this is an opportunity to capture some of the magic and enthusiasm of the festival without traveling outside the confines of your home state. While nothing can replace the opportunity to sample beers from small, local brewers around the U.S. under one roof, the Brewers Association has had to adjust to the curve balls that 2020 has thrown.

Congratulations to Florida’s Great American Beer Festival Winners

As a testament to the monumental growth of craft beer across the globe, the Great American Beer Festival continues to grow and invite more breweries from across the United States.  That means more amazing beers submitted for the judging at the festival competition, one of the most prestigious and competitive in the world.  That also means that Florida’s craft breweries are facing stiffer competition from breweries both new and old.  This is not a knock against Florida’s breweries, as some of the best beer in the world is crafted in the Sunshine State, just an acknowledgement of the level of competition that everyone is working with.
