Who's got the best Stout in town? From 12 breweries, you decide. All tastings are blind.
The STOUT challenge is a local competition between 12 Traverse City area breweries. Each brewery will produce their “Best STOUT” and submit it for the event. 200 beer lovers will have the opportunity to get tickets and be a judge and choose their favorite brew. All tasting will be blind. Ticket holders will know the description of the beer, ABV, and other facts, but the brewery will remain confidential. At 10pm an awards ceremony will take place. The winning brewery will take home a trophy and the privilege of saying their brewery has “The Best STOUT in the Traverse City area!”
