For the first time later this week, Rhode Island breweries will participate in a blind-judged competition exclusively open to local, commercially-produced beers. The Rhode Worthy Cup takes place this Thursday, Aug. 8, at The Guild in Pawtucket, where two dozen of the state’s beer, cider and seltzer producers will compete for titles in numerous categories. Jennifer Pereira, associate professor in the craft brewing certificate program at Johnson & Wales University, founded the competition to fill what she sees as a gap on the local event circuit. While many producers attend national competitions like the Great American Beer Festival, there was no local equivalent exclusively for Rhode Island breweries. Pereira also runs the Ocean State Homebrew Competition for local home brewers.
