Choc Beer is on a roll
Choc Beer announced late last week that the brewery hauled in two awards during the recent North American Beer Awards, snagging a gold with Signature Biere de Garde and a silver for Signature Smoked Porter. Choc noted that Biere de Garde is widely available in 22 oz. bottles, and will also be released in 12 oz. four-packs later in the summer. Smoked Porter was created in a one-time brewing — what’s out there now is all that’s left.
The awards add to an impressive haul for Choc over the past several years. Here’s a complete rundown of Choc’s wins:
