The Great American Beer Festival (GABF) is a three-day annual event hosted by the Brewers Association, held in Denver, Colorado. The GABF brings visitors from around the world to sample thousands of different American craft beers. Hundreds of judges from the United States and abroad evaluate beer in the associated competition, ultimately judging several thousand beers entered by hundreds of breweries. Gold, silver and bronze medals in 161 beer-style categories (as of 2017) are awarded, though not every medal is necessarily awarded in each category. 2017 saw its biggest ever panel of judges with 276 beer experts representing 13 different nations. Typically happening in late September or early October, the event is currently held inside the Colorado Convention Center. There are four separate four-hour attendee "sampling" sessions (one Thursday, one Friday and two on Saturday) with the first of the two on the Saturday being called the "members only" session which is only offered to BA members as well as special guests such as participating breweries and VIP. The last day is also the day awards are presented which occurs inside the CCC's 5,000-seat Bellco Theatre immediately before the members only session. Judging occurs elsewhere downtown in the days leading up to the last day of the 3-day event. The 2018 GABF will occupy nearly 600,000 square feet of the CCC, a 100,000 square foot increase from 2017. Also, 2018 will be the first year brewers will be placed alphabetically according to their name rather than grouped according to the state they come from. Founded in 1982, the GABF was started by Charlie Papazian in Boulder, Colorado. The original GABF had 22 participating breweries, which had increased to over 700 at the 2014 festival. The GABF is the largest ticketed beer festival in the United States and one of the largest in the world.[1] StatisticsFor a list of all medalists, see the List of Great American Beer Festival medalists2017
