All Origin Hybrid/Mixed Lagers or Ale · Brewers Association 2025
Vegetable aromas, ranging from subtle to intense, should be present and should not be overpowered by hop aromas. Field Beers are any beers incorporating vegetables as flavor or carbohydrate adjuncts in either the mash, kettle, primary or secondary fermentation. The vegetable character should be in harmony with other attributes and can range from subtle to intense. Within the framework of these guidelines, beers with vegetables, nuts, mushrooms, and/or coconut are categorized as Field Beer. However, within the framework of these guidelines, India Pale Ales brewed with vegetables/nuts/coconut are categorized as Experimental India Pale Ale. All beers containing chili peppers are categorized as Chili Beer. When using these guidelines as the basis for evaluating entries at competitions, brewers may be asked to provide supplemental information about entries in this category to allow for accurate evaluation of diverse entries. Such information might include the underlying beer style upon which the entry is based, or other information unique to the entry such as vegetable(s) used or processing which influence perceived sensory outcomes.
