Everybody was a winner. Of course there are always some winners who were slightly bigger than others so for those who may have missed it, here's a quick recap of the awards from Saturday's 4-Corners BrewFest...
Fastest Blown Keg
7 Seas Brewing - Balz Deep Double IPA
Most Pulls (i.e. most drink tokens collected)*
Most Pulls - Fremont Brewing Co.
1st Runner Up for Most Pulls - Big E Ales
2nd Runner Up for Most Pulls - American Brewing Co.
*This was incredibly close with the top 4-5 brewers all within 20 tokens of each other. Other big pullers (in no particular order) were 7 Seas Brewing, Lantern Brewing, Gallagher's, and Georgetown.
People's Choice**
Golden Growler - Gallagher's Orange Mango IPA (Maui Wowwie)
1st Runner Up - Big E Ales' Blackberry Ale
2nd Runner Up - Fremont Brewing's Dark Star Imperial Oatmeal Stout
**This too was the closest vote we've had in all of our years (2) of doing 4-Corners BrewFest. Others that were just nudged off the podium were 7 Seas' Balz Deep Double IPA, Stone's Ruination, Hilliard's Pils, Elliott Bay's Paint it Black Lager, and Silver City's Ziggy Zoggy.
Once again, a huge thank you to the brewers who poured, the volunteers who volunteered, Mother Nature for a great day, and the beer enthusiasts who were enthusiastic about the beer.
