The Great American Beer Festival invites industry professionals from around the world to sit together in small groups and, without knowing the brand name, taste beers in each specified style category. The ultimate goal of the judge panel is to identify the three beers that best represent each beer-style category as described and adopted by the Great American Beer Festival.
