Recently, the
Town Hall Brewery in Minneapolis received several awards at the
Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colo., which is “the biggest event of its kind in the world,” according to
City Pages.
The festival included 466 brewers with 2,375 varieties of beer, it reports.
Beers from all over are judged according to 83 style categories, the story explains, adding that “The judging is rigorous, the competition is stiff, and the prestige bestowed upon the winners is great,”
Town Hall Brewery’s Hope and King Scotch Ale picked up a gold medal in the Scottish-Style Ale category, while a couple of specialty beers, Eye of the Storm and LSD, got silver medals in the Specialty Honey Beer and Herb and Spice Beer categories, according to City Pages.
