This year GABF is welcoming 522 breweries to the competition, with 462 serving their beer to Festivals attendees (see Breweries at the Festivals). More than 2,238 beers are expected to be served at this year's Festivals and some 3,594 are slated to be judged in the competition. (Note that these numbers are subject to slight variations as the Festivals draws nearer.) Also new this September: an enhanced state brewers guilds/Support Your Local Brewery pavilion (think brewing education meets beer tourism); an even-better Farm to Table Pavilion (open to Brewers Association and American Homebrewers Association members only); and noted speakers like Top Chef Season 5 winner, Hosea Rosenberg, discussing beer and street food, and Ken Grossman and Charlie Papazian discussing their collaboration on Charlie, Ken & Fred's Bock, part of Sierra Nevada's 30th Anniversary series.
