Great American Beer Festival 2016 Medal Recap!

The Great American Beer Festival is a highly anticipated and sold out event for craft beer lovers from all over the nation. People even travel from other countries to go to this amazing event! This event showcases craft beer at its finest from hundreds of breweries from all around the United States. GABF goers have the opportunity to try craft beer from many breweries that may not distribute to their hometown, while breweries have the chance to showcase their amazing beers and compete for awards in the GABF competition.

For this year’s Great American Beer Festival, 1,752 breweries from all over the nation submitted 7,227 entries that were judged by a panel of 264 beer experts from 12 countries. Out of all the submissions, the Brewer’s Association awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals to breweries in 96 beer categories that cover 161 beer styles. Being from a craft beer mecca, it’s no surprise that many breweries local to San Diego brought home a total of 18 awards from their recent trip to Colorado.
