The 2021 U.S. Open Beer Championship brings a BRONZE for Belgian Pale Ale!
September 6, 2021—Oxford, Ohio
“Breweries from Antioquia, Columbia to Columbia, South Carolina sent more than 8000 beers representing over 140 different styles to the 2021 U.S. Open Beer Championship. Today, the U.S. Open Beer Championship announces the medal winners and Grand National Champion.
Also due to the COVID-19 pandemic, judging was held in both the U.S. and Canada. The main U.S. judging was held at the new U.S. Open Event Center in Oxford, Ohio. The U.S. Open became the first beer competition to be held in its own venue which is a 6000 square foot Amish pole barn located on a small farm.
Judging in the U.S. Open Beer Championships is blind; judges know only the categories, not the names or locations of beers being judged.”
The award-winning Desperate Times Brewery earned a Bronze Medal in the Ale Category for their Belgian Pale Ale.
