2017 Medalists
Other Years: 2016 | 2018 | 2019 | 2021
The Can Can Awards
The Can Can Awards is the premier beer competition focused solely on canned craft beers. In our 2nd year, over 400 beers were entered from across the globe.
Methodology
Among our 24 judges from across the Southeast, 5 were professional brewers, 10 had a Beer Judge Certification Program rank of Recognized or higher, and others were experts in the beer industry. Judging took place over 5 days near Nashville, Tennessee and Atlanta, Georgia. The Can Can Awards competition was sanctioned by the BJCP. Judges were not allowed to judge beers in which they had an affiliation and judged all beers in blind taste tests. Medals were not awarded to any beers scoring less than 30 out of 50.
