Best in Show Home Brew | Dr. Mark Zambron of Buffalo, NY
Winning Beer:Czech Out The Fair

Dr. Mark Zambron of Buffalo, NY takes home the 2025 Best in Show Home Brew title for his Czech Amber Lager, Czech Out The Fair. The beer features a floral hop character, firm bitterness, and a rich malt backbone—making it a perfect match for bold Fair flavors like street tacos and cinnamon taffy.

A returning champion, Dr. Zambron is deeply involved in the Fair’s homebrewing community. He helps coordinate the Niagara Home Brewers Association exhibit in the Ag-Grange Building and is passionate about the agricultural roots of brewing.

His award-winning lager will be professionally brewed by Hamburg Brewing Company and available at the Fair and select retail locations this summer.
