The U.S. Open Beer Championship, now in its 15th year, is an international competition taking place in the summer every year judging thousands of beers across the world. This year’s competition was arguably one of the most competitive to date with over 9,000 beers submitted representing over 160 different styles to the 2023 U.S. Open Beer Championship.
