More than 300 beers competing in 103 categories won awards Wednesday in Nashville at the World Beer Cup, the largest and most prestigious beer competition.
The 307 winners won gold, silver or bronze awards in a competition with 10,213 entries submitted by 2,376 breweries from 51 countries. A panel of 272 judges from 26 countries spent nine days judging the competition.
“The World Beer Cup brings together the finest brewers and beers from around the globe and celebrates creativity, craftsmanship and passion for great beer," said Chris Williams, the competition director. “Receiving a World Beer Cup award is a testament to quality and innovation, and we commend this year’s winners for setting the bar higher than ever.”
U.S. breweries submitted more than 8,000 — or about 80% — of the entries. Canadian breweries entered the second-largest number of entries — 444.
The beer category receiving the most entries — 412 — was American-Style India Pale Ale. The gold medal was won by Head Hunter, brewed by Ohio-based Fat Head’s Brewery & Saloon.
Some of the other beers that won gold medals were White Rascal, a Belgian-style witbier brewed by Avery Brewing Co. of Boulder, Colorado; Pumpernickel Porter, brewed by Vintage Brewing Co. of Madison, Wisconsin, and Polaris Pilsner, brewed by Chainline Brewing Co. in Kirkland, Washington.

“Gold Wherever You Go Green Cheek Beer Co. - Costa Mesa Juicy or Hazy India Pale Ale USA 1”
They also have a location in orange. The Brewer won medals with another brewery, Noble Ale Works, before venturing out in his own.
For you SoCal people who like beer, this is an awesome brewery.
Not even a posterior award?
It’s apparent that a lot of small breweries are producing excellent beer. The economist in me says that is a result of pure competition: ease of entry and exit markets, a large number of competitors, selling near homogeneous products with near perfect information. Fvck big woke business!
Let me guess. Bud Lite won!
I had a bunch of Platinums today. I lost count. Kiss my butt
I was thinking of starting a new, unsigned music ping. Unless you started one already.
Participation Awards for everybody! Except Bud Light.
In another competition held on the Berkly California campus, all the major newsrooms, and Washinton DC, Bud Lite came in number two against all the beers of the world. Budweiser considered this a major endorsement of their beer, until they found out horse piss was number one. /Sarcasm
Did Duff Beer win?
When I was on active duty, one of the Marines passed out (as was his custom— so we were prepared) and we bleached his hair orange, shaved his legs and drew a Groucho Marx mask on his face with a Sharpie.
