U.S. Open
The Carolina Brewmasters are again hosting the US Open this year, allowing all BJCP styles, along with Cider and Mead, but limiting total paid entries to 250 to keep judging quality high.
There will be two judging sessions held at Noda Brewing Company this year on Saturday, September 12, 2026 – 8AM and 1PM. They will also be organizing distributed judging sessions in the two weeks leading up to the Saturday judging sessions.
