The Brewers Association, a not-for-profit trade association dedicated to small and independent American craft brewers, announced the results of the 2018 World Beer Cup awards (Awards List). The largest competition to date, the awards were presented at the conclusion of the Craft Brewers Conference & BrewExpo America last week.

Beers were judged during six sessions over a period of three days by an elite panel of 295 judges from 33 countries—72 percent of whom were from outside the United States. Judges evaluated 8,234 beers—a 25 percent increase in the number of entries from the 2016 World Beer Cup.

Of the 2,515 participating breweries, only one from New Jersey won an award, Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant in Maple Shade. In the Belgian-Style Pale Strong Ale competition (Category 68), they placed silver for their The Cannibal among the 70 category entries.
