Criteria
The Award of Honor is given to a
Master Brewers member who has delivered
significant contributions to brewing science, technology, and operations that
have benefited the association. It is not expected that the recipient will
have made contributions in all these areas. It could be that the significant contribution
is in one area only. The award is not bestowed each year, only in the years
when there is an exceptional member who fits the criteria.
