Rice Street Lager is a classic American lager brewed to be clean and crisp, and Muscle Power Pale Ale is a Pale Ale featuring notes of citrus and melon.

Judging in the U.S. Open Beer Championships is blind; the judges know only the categories, but they do not know what beers they are tasting. The final round of judging was held at the Grandfather’s Barn in Oxford, Ohio.
