Have you heard? Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant claimed Gold medals at this year’s Great American Beer Festival, announced just this afternoon in Denver, Colorado!
Here’s the full recap from Iron Hill’s Chris, right from the award-winning scene:
Wow, we were sweating for a bit. We’d gotten through about 3/4 of the awards ceremony without grabbing any medals. But man did we finish well. We grabbed gold medals for both our Russian Imperial Stout and the Pig Iron Porter. According to the judges at the GABF, the “Porter recipe we use at all of our locations is the best in the country.” And you can get it any time. I love it when we win for house beers. Both of our winning entries this year were brewed by Bob and Kevin at our Media location. No surprise there, Bobby has often been referred to as the “medal machine.”
Who else to snagged some medals?
McKenzie’s Brew House claimed gold victory for their Saison Vautour in the French and Belgian-Style Saison category (Iron Hill also competed in that round) and other PA-based breweries Troegs, Stoudt’s, Triumph and Weyerbacher trotted out of the competition with gold, silver and bronze medals held proud.
