Veliki američki festival piva ove je godine napunio 40 godina.
pivari Udruga
Postoje festivali piva, a tu je i Veliki američki festival piva. Najveći festival piva na svijetu, događaj je dijelom festival pijanih pića, dijelom ozbiljno natjecanje piva s najboljim pivovarama u zemlji koje se bore za jedan od događaja koji žude za zlatnim, srebrnim i brončanim medaljama.
Domaćin događaja je Udruga pivara, a ove godine slavi svoj 40. rođendan i povratak festivala nakon dvije godine pauze zbog COVID-a.
Ove godine na natjecanje su se prijavile 2154 pivovare s nevjerojatnih 9,904 piva. Ove je godine ocjenjivano preko 177 različitih stilova piva (da, toliko ih ima), ali 325 različitih sudaca. Prosječan broj piva prijavljenih u svakoj kategoriji je 99, s najvećim brojem prijava, kao i uvijek, u kategoriji American Style India Pale Ale. 268 pivovara ove je godine otišlo s medaljama, od kojih 18 prvi put. Prvi put se prijavila 301 pivovara.
