Join over 6500 other thirsty beer lovers at the 20th annual Mountain Brewers Beer Fest. There will be hundreds of beers and proceeds benefit local charities!  This event is one of Idaho’s BIGGEST and BEST nods to our regions’ amazing craft beer.

The North American Brewers Association TM (NABA) is a non-profit foundation. The NABA mission is to secure beer’s role in our culture and society through the advancement of brewing quality and consumer education.

The North American Brewers Association TM was founded in late 1996. Since that date, NABA has undertaken the organizational development of corporate policies, procedures, memberships, as well as the sanctioning of beer awards, beer festivals, and a beer judging and evaluation course. NABA has over 40 members.

NABA holds an annual, prestigious brewing competition. Judges at the annual NABA sanctioned beer awards include brew masters from major national breweries as well as experts from small, independent breweries. Also judging are beer journalists and certified judges. Evaluation and judging of beers are conducted in sessions which lead to the award of Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. Since 1997, hundreds of competitors have participated.

Judging is performed in a blind format competition with beers poured in a separate room and provided to the judges in style flights. Judging in teams of four, minimum, the judges rank order the top three beers.

All proceeds from the Competition are directed to charity as per the foundation’s charter.

For additional information on membership, sanctioning, beer awards, judging and upcoming events, contact info@northamericanbrewers.org Noon to 5 p.m. at Sandy Downs in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Live Music! Great Food! Fun!
