Great American Beer Festival results
The 2010 Great American Beer Festival was this past weekend, with gold, silver and bronze awards handed out in 79 beer categories. Unfortunately, no Oklahoma beers took home medals this year. Nothing to be ashamed of there — after all, the competition featured 3,523 beers. If my math is correct, and it always is, that means roughly 3,286 beers did not receive medals this year. So who did win? I’ve provided you with this fancy Internet link that takes you to the complete list of winners. In the meantime, I can tell you that several medalists are beers you can score right here in Oklahoma:
-Point Horizon Wheat (gold, American-style wheat beer with yeast)
-Pyramid Apricot Ale (silver, fruit beer)
-Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat Ale (gold, specialty honey beer)
-Samuel Adams Honey Porter (bronze, specialty honey beer)
-Miller Light (gold, American-style lager or light lager)
-Old Milwaukee (silver, American-style lager or light lager)
-Miller Genuine Draft (bronze, American-style lager or light lager)
-Michelob Amberbock (gold, American-style dark lager)
-Ommegang Three Philosophers (bronze, Belgian-style abbey ale)
-Rogue Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout (bronze, American-style stout)
And there may be a couple others I missed, but you get the idea; you can sample some award-winning beer by visiting your liquor store of choice today.
