    • If you are the roster management admin for your company, be sure to verify that the employee registering for GABF is on your company’s roster by logging into BrewersAssociation.org and going to Manage My Account.
    • Still need help with your Brewersassociation.org account? Reach out to us at info@brewersassociation.org or 1-303-447-0816
    • Non-BA Member Producers can enter a the competition (but you save so much money on registration fees by becoming a BA Member + all other member benefits!)
  • TTB Basic Permit/Brewer’s Notice/Winery Number

  • Registration payment: $185 per entry for BA members / $375 per entry for non-members is due with application, and covers the cost of the first competition entry. Credit card only, no checks. Unpaid entries are not confirmed and will not receive competition labels and/or be judged in competition.
  • After you complete your application, you’ll be able to log back in to your registration with your BA login credentials at gabfregistration.com to cancel beers for a refund by the refund deadline, or review and make changes before the change deadline.

All registered GABF beer brand names must comply with the BA Advertising and Marketing Code.
