Here are winners from 2021 Pa. Farm Show’s craft beer competition
For the third year, a variety breweries, from well-known brands to smaller ventures, earned awards in the annual Pa. Farm Show craft beer competition.
“After a year riddled with challenge, we were thrilled to see Pennsylvania breweries thirsty for competition as we launched the third annual Farm Show beer competition,” said Russell Redding, state agriculture secretary.
The Pennsylvania Farm Show is being held virtually from Jan. 9-16. This year, 22 craft brews from breweries in 10 Pennsylvania counties were judged.
Pennsylvania ranks No. 2 in the United States for number of barrels produced at 3.6 million, according to the Brewers Association, a trade group.
