We are proud to annouce the Third Annual Michigan Beer Cup (A Single State Competition).

The Michigan Beer Cup Competition is a state wide competition, which promotes brewing through education and competition. The Michigan Beer Cup Competition competition was founded in 2010, by a group of individuals, club representatives and store owners throughout the state of Michigan with the goal to preserve the spirit of the Michigan State Fair Homebrew competition. The Michigan Beer Cup Competition wishes to continue the traditions of the Michigan State Fair Competition, by maintaining and growing one of the largest single state competitions in the country.

The Michigan Beer Cup Competition is a Beer Judging Certification Program (BJCP) sanctioned event accepting all of the 28 categories.

The Michigan Beer Cup Competition has changed locations. This year the judging for the Michigan Beer Cup Competition will be held at the Rochester Mills Production Brewery in Auburn Hills. The change was made to better facilitate our judges and to open up new judging opportunities in the State of Michigan.

Black IPA's will stand on their own this year.... No longer will these popular brews be judge as a specialty beers, instead they will stand next to their brothers as category 14-D. Guidelines for this category are being created for our competition by Mike Winnie Master BJCP judge. After the competition the style guidelines will be then submitted to the BJCP for future consideration.

The Michigan Beer Cup Competition will collect Soda Pop entries for the 2012 Michigan Homebrew Festival. The entries which are submitted are scheduled to be judged at the festival by children.
