About the cup
The North Idaho Brewers Cup is a grassroots competition formed to bring breweries in the Panhandle together, and to build a community of local beermakers, brewmasters and beer drinkers.
This round is a fresh hop beer competition between six breweries from Sandpoint to St. Maries.
How voting and the competition work
Buy the cup beer at each competing brewery, grab a ballot and get it stamped. Visit all six, collect every stamp, then vote for your favorite.
Can't make the drive? Utara's and Two Saints' beers are also available, and stamped, at Kaniksu Brewing in Post Falls.
Where to return your ballot, how the winner is decided and any prizes are posted on the official North Idaho Brewers Cup page (link below).
