Great American Beer Festival 2014: How the Locals Fared

Last weekend much of the American beer world gathered in Denver to drink, network, and judge. Probably in that order. Local breweries took home some of the hardware.
 

Category: 73 – Belgian- and French-Style Ale – 27 Entries

Gold: Grisette, Sly Fox Brewing Co., Pottstown, PA

Silver: The Citizen, DC Brau Brewing Co., Washington, DC

Bronze: Barren Hill Biere De Extra, Barren Hill Tavern and Brewery, Lafayette Hill, PA

 

Analysis: It’s a bit surprising that only 27 beers were entered in this category. Even more surprising is that all three medalists are in the mid-Atlantic. Now that Brau distributes to southeastern Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia, you can try all three of these in a day if you’d like. It’s Brau’s second medal in this category, having landed another silver with Your Favorite Foreign Movie, a patersbier brewed from (then) local homebrewer Brian Barrow’s recipe through the Meridian Pint homebrew competition.

Category: 56 – American-Style Amber/Red Ale – 140 Entries
