Gold, silver, and bronze awards will be given in both tasting and poster presentation competitions. The grand prize will go to the best cummulative score for the tasting and poster competitions. All members of the team winning the grand prize will receive a complimentary AIChE membership for the 2018 dues year ($199 value per person). Grand prize winners will also be featured in an AIChE webinar reviewing their winning brewing process.

The AIChE Beer Brewing Competition will feature two beer categories for competition: "Dark & Malty" and "Bright & Hoppy." Teams will be able to submit a maximum of two beers to the competition, provided the two beers are submitted in different beer categories.
