Washington Beer Awards The Washington B**r Awards is a craft b**r competition designed specifically to support Washington?

The Washington B**r Awards is a craft b**r competition designed specifically to support Washington’s professional brewers. This Washington-only competition is intended to provide an opportunity for all of Washington’s craft brewers to compete in a blind judging format. It will allow recognition of brewing excellence in Washington and provide constructive feedback supporting future competition entry decisions. By providing an unbiased and affordable competition for Washington brewers, we can allow all brewers to compete and raise awareness of Washington craft b**r both within the state and on the national level. This competition will provide a venue for Washington brewers to compete locally and receive high caliber of judging. It will be open strictly to Washington brewers and leverage trained judges with a focus on providing feedback tailored for the commercial community. Judging will be conducted using the nationally recognized Brewers Association style guidelines. The competition will be held in May 2013 with medals will be provided to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners and special awards will be provided to breweries with many winning b**rs. Winners will be announced and medals will be awarded at a ceremony at the Washington Brewers Festival in June.

A little more behind-the-scenes prep for WABA judging this weekend! Today involved driving all the entries from Georgetown Brewing to Elliott Bay Brewing Co. in Lake City and unloading everything into the cellar. We managed to get it all downstairs without breaking a single bottle or can! (Wednesday night was for making judge lanyards and watching the Seahawks with Gumbo the WABA mascot.)
