Two Pennsylvania breweries won this year at the 2020 Honey Beer Competition. This yearly competition is hosted by the National Honey Board and garnered 220 entries from professional brewers throughout the United States.
The Honey Beer Competition was judged by BJCP-certified judges and featured 13 beer style categories, and a cider, hard seltzer, and design category. The beers were submitted by mail by the breweries and were judged on their aroma, appearance, flavor, mouthfeel, packaging, and the role honey played in the beer.
Roy-Pitz Brewing Company’s Honey Sucker Pils won Gold in the General Lagers category and their Two Timing Dutch Honey IPA won Silver in the IPAs category. Honey Sucker Pils also won Silver in Best in Show.
Grist House Craft Brewery’s Dark Nectar Porter won Gold in the Stout/Porter category and their Microburst Fruited Sour also won Gold in the sour category.
