Hungarian craft beers’ successes in Lexington

Over 5,000 craft beer aficionados attended the fifth annual Alltech Craft Brews & Food Fest on May 19, 2018, at the Lexington Convention Center. The festival featured over 60 breweries from across the country as well as food from local vendors and some of the best chefs in the state of Kentucky.

More than 50 breweries from four countries submitted 325 unique beers, which were judged by an expert panel of judges based on Beer Judge Certification Program guidelines. At the end of the day, and the bottom of the glass, the Commonwealth Cup was awarded to Barrel Aged Molé brewed by Braxton Brewing Company from Covington, Kentucky.

In this year 6 Hungarian breweries attended at the competition: Hopfanatic, the RothBeer, the Synthesis, the Zirci Apátsági Manufaktúra, the FIRST Craft Beer and the Guri Sörfőzde. They’ve got 12 medals all together.
