The Great American Beer Festival (GABF) Pro-Am competition is a chance for homebrewers to team up with a commercial brewery to bring a homebrew-inspired beer to the masses. The beer is entered into the GABF Pro-Am competition to see how it stands up to other commercially-produced homebrew recipes.

This year, the 2015 GABF Pro-Am competition has 92 entries from craft brewery and amateur brewer teams across the country.

If you’re heading to the 2015 Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colo., be sure to stop by the Pro-Am booth to sample a selection of the entries. The 92 entries will be split up and served across the 4 sessions of Great American Beer Festival, and you can find a tap list on GreatAmericanBeerFestival.com.
