Ninkasi Award

Ninkasi Award

The Ninkasi Award is the prize given by American Homebrewers Association for the brewer who gains the most points in the second round of the National Homebrew Competition judged at the National Homebrewers Conference. Points are gained from the brewer's winning entries in the 23 categories of beer and several categories of mead and cider. At least 2 points (1 bronze placement) must come from a beer entry. The winner of the Ninkasi Award is widely considered the best homebrewer of the year.

The Ninkasi Award is named in honor of Ninkasi, the Sumerian goddess of beer.
