California State Fair Commercial Craft Beer Competition
Happy Friday! The weekend is here, and we’re kicking it off with some exciting news. The California State Fair Commercial Beer Competition is officially open for entries, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see what amazing brews you’ve been crafting.
Whether you're a seasoned competitor or entering for the first time, this is your chance to showcase your best beers to a panel of expert judges. It’s an opportunity to earn some serious bragging rights and gain recognition in the industry.
To help remind you about the competition and keep the momentum going, we’ll be visiting some of our favorite local competitors this weekend and in the coming weeks handing out reminder cards. If you see us, don’t hesitate to grab one and we would love to chat about any questions or feedback you have for the competition – we want to make sure everyone gets a chance to be part of this incredible event.
