The nonprofit organization began the competition in 1996 with the goal of raising consumer awareness about the diversity and variety of beer.

Founded in 1984, The Boston Beer Company is the fourth-largest brewery in the country.
The other award-winner in Massachusetts for 2025 is Lost Shoe Brewing and Roasting Company in Marlborough, which was awarded the “Gold” prize for its Size 6 beer in the Belgian-Syle Dubbel category.
