They can select up to four entries they think will do well. If the selected beer(s) goes on to earn an award they receive points \u2014 5 for gold, 3 for silver, 1 for bronze. If they earn an award for a beer they did not select for Brewery of the Year, it does not count towards their points tally.\u00a0It prevents breweries who can afford numerous entries from potentially forcing their way to that title.
