of the Year 4 at this year9s
Great American Beer Festival
is amazing! These combined
awards provide some incred-
ible recognition for the hard
work, commitment and pas-
sion that our TCBC crew
puts in every day,= said Wade
Underwood, general manager
of TCBC <It9s extraordinary
to be awarded for crafting
some of the best beers in the
country.=
<Of course, we couldn9t
do this without our incred-
ible brewing team,= said Jeff
Cornett, head brewer at TCBC
<This is a remarkable compli-
ment to our whole team!=
Each year, GABF repre-
sents the largest collection of
U.S. beer ever served, typi-
cally in a public tasting event
plus a private competition.
However, due to the global
coronavirus pandemic, the
2020 festival moved online.
The Great American Beer
Festival invites industry pro-
fessionals from around the
world to taste beers in each
specified style category 4
without knowing the brand
name. The ultimate goal of the
GABF Judge Panel is to iden-
tify the three beers that best
represent each beer-style cate-
gory as described and adopted
by the GABF.
The Professional Judge
Panel awards gold, silver, or
bronze medals that are rec-
ognized around the world as
symbols of brewing excel-
lence. The awards are among
the most coveted in the indus-
try. Judges are assigned beers
to evaluate in their specific
area of expertise, and never
judge their own product, or
any product in which they
have concern.
