Homebrewers teamed up with professional brewers to vie for top honors in a field of 86 entries. Pro-Am competition judges came from the same professional panel of world-class judges that evaluated all 3,523 beers at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival. The Pro-Am competition is separate from the GABF competition, and therefore Pro-Am medals do not count towards GABF Brewery and Brewer of the Year awards.
The GABF Pro-Am competition is sponsored by Brewers Supply Group, Briess Malt & Ingredients Co., Hopunion and White Labs.
What is the GABF Pro-Am Competition?
Entries are brewed by professional craft brewers in collaboration with American Homebrewers Association (AHA) members. Award-winning homebrewer recipes are scaled up and brewed at a GABF entering brewery for submission into the competition. Visit Great American Beer Festival Competition Info to learn about the Pro-Am Competition rules and regulations that apply to the homebrewer and the brewery.
