The 2022 US Open Beer Championship just wrapped up in Ohio and they’ve announced this year’s winners and the breweries judged to be the best in America.

This competition is the only one to include beers from professional breweries as well as beers from gold medal winners from the 2021 National AHA Homebrew Competition. Judging in the beer championships is blind; judges know only the categories, not the names or locations of beers being judged.

Breweries from Luxembourg to Louisiana sent in more than 9,000 beers representing over 150 different styles for the 2022 US Open Beer Championship.

And several Southern California craft breweries won big this year including:

Angel City Brewery, Los Angeles: Silver medal for Biere De Garde and bronze media for Little Tokyo Sugi Dry, both in the Barrel Aged Pale Beer category.

Bravus Brewing Company, Anaheim: Gold medal for Cucumber Mojito Gose, non-alcoholic Malt Beverage category; silver medal for Mango Habanero IPA, non-alcoholic Fruit and Spices category.

Evans Brewing Co., Corona: Gold medal for Quadrupel Donker, Belgian Quadrupel category; gold medal for Smoke Show, Smoked/Rauch Beer category.

Hangar 24 Craft Brewery, Redlands: Gold medal for X1 Pale Ale, American Pale Ale category

Smog City Brewing Co., Los Angeles: Bronze medal for New Normal, Dortmunder Export category.

Temblor Brewing, Bakersfield: Gold medal for Ruby’s Boysenberry Cobbler Kettle Sour, American Berry/Fruit Beer category.

The US Open Beer Championship judges more beer styles than any other competition in the world and you can view all the winners HERE.

Congratulations to all this year’s winners….Live long and prosper!
