Note: In some cases, amid the barely-controlled chaos that is our monthly competition, pieces of data such as last names and entry style names become lost or strangely transformed. Please scan your entries below for inaccuracies. If you find an irregularity, please email the correction directly to the Web Master. Thank you!
Brewer of the Year score is the total of points for each brewer or team in his/her/their best six competitions. First place finishes count for 10 points, second for 7, third for 4, all other entries in style for 2, and out of style entries for 1. Brewers may have only one scoring beer in each competition.
