2019 ACBF
Beer Awards
With a few adjustments to previous years, we think you'll love our new Awards Program, which is…(drum roll)... prior to the Festival!! Yes! Judging will take place on Wednesday, March 21st, which will allow for your trophies to be displayed at your booths throughout the entire weekend!
The 2018 ACBF Awards has more categories, new directors, and a better location! So, make sure you look through this page thoroughly and fill out your application as soon as possible.
Good luck to everyone, and may the best beers win!
