Lielajam Amerikas alus festivālam šogad apritēja 40 gadi.
Alus darījumu asociācija
Ir alus festivāli, un tad ir Lielais Amerikas alus festivāls. Pasaulē lielākais alus festivāls ir daļa no dzērāju festivāla, daļēji nopietna alus konkurence ar valsts labākajām alus darītavām, kas cīnās par vienu no notikumiem, kas tiek iekāroti zelta, sudraba un bronzas medaļās.
Pasākumu rīko Alus darītāju asociācija, un tas šogad svin gan savu 40. dzimšanas dienu, gan festivāla atgriešanos pēc divu gadu prombūtnes COVID dēļ.
Šogad konkursā pieteicās 2154 alus darītavas ar 9,904 alus šķirnēm. Šogad tika vērtēti vairāk nekā 177 dažādi alus stili (jā, to ir tik daudz), bet 325 dažādi vērtētāji. Vidējais pieteikto alu skaits katrā kategorijā ir 99, un vislielākais pieteikumu skaits, kā vienmēr, notiek kategorijā American Style India Pale Ale. 268 alus darītavas šogad aizgāja ar mediāļiem, 18 no tām pirmo reizi. Pirmo reizi pieteicās 301 alus darītava.
Lūk, kurš ieguva uzvarētāju:
