About GABF Analysis
An independent, public analysis of Great American Beer Festival results. It turns the official winners lists into one linked record of every medal and explains what the results show.
Who It Is for
Brewers first: benchmark against the field, choose which categories to enter, and study the beers that won. Beer fans, press, and analysts use the same public data.
What Is Here
- Every medal from 2018 to 2026, linked across breweries, categories, and beers.
- The 2026 winning beers with their published specs and the brewery's own description.
- Written findings, each traceable to the data.
Independence
GABF Analysis is unofficial. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the Brewers Association or the Great American Beer Festival.
