Beer industry professionals convened at Oklahoma State University on March 5 to judge submissions to the second Oklahoma Craft Beer Awards (OCBA) competition sponsored by the OSU School of Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTM).
Breweries from across the state submitted beers with entries categorized and judged by style family in accordance with the current edition of "Appendix A: Alternate Categorizations" of the Beer Judging Certification Program (BJCP) Beer Style Guidelines.
The judging panel, organized by HTM student Gracie Haney was comprised of experts in beer tasting and evaluation, including national BJCP judges, certified Cicerones, beverage directors and beer writers. In all, 23 categories of beer styles were evaluated in a blind tasting format and winners were awarded gold, silver and bronze medals.
The OCBA competition was created to showcase and promote the efforts of the best breweries in Oklahoma.
“Our goal is to bring our local brewing industry together to identify and champion beers of quality and distinction from across the state and to create additional avenues for brand building for all award-winning breweries,” said Tony Collins, HTM beverage director.
