Brewery of the Year Criteria
Each medal awarded in the Texas Craft Brewers Cup has an equivalent point value (1 point for Bronze, 2 points for Silver, and 3 points for Gold), which are used to determine Brewery of the Year award winners. When registering for the Texas Craft Brewers Cup, breweries report their annual barrelage totals and are then divided into two similarly competitive groups based on brewery size for the year’s competition.
Brewery of the Year cups are awarded to the two breweries who each earned the most points in their respective groups.
