Let us know how we did

Well that was fun! For the first year, the 2019 competition sold out in advance of the tasting event with 200 registered attendees, 20 brewing submissions, and 12 unique teams. We also featured our largest raffle drawing, with 20+ prize packs from 18 local sponsors.

And the winners are ....

The 5th Annual Staff Brewing Competition at UC Davis featured 3 style categories of pale ales, sours and ciders. Teams were comprised of UC affiliates (staff, graduate students, faculty, and alumni). The winners of each category were announced at the tasting event, held on Friday, April 19, 2019 at the Walter A. Buehler Alumni Center.

This year's judging panels were comprised of Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) certified judges, non-BJCP certified judges, and industry professionals.
