The Great American Beer Festival was held this past weekend in Denver, CO, and what a weekend it was. We’re still recovering from all the fun we had this weekend…none of the fun ingesting hundreds of microbrews in Denver, though. We had a much classier weekend filled with college football, Pabst, and enormous pieces of pizza. Jealous?

Regardless, the GABF has released their list of winners in the 80 different beer categories, along with best brewers and breweries in the country. The winners–as expected–in the brewery of the year awards were Blue Moon, Utah Brewers Cooperative, and Mad River Brewing Company! And if you haven’t heard of all of those breweries, check out the list and you’ll find a massive collection of some of your favorite breweries raking in award after award. Or not. Seriously, where did all these breweries come from? Pizza Port? Devil’s Backbone? Yazoo Brewing? Am I alone here not knowing 50% of the winners?

I think the one thing this shows is how strong the craft beer movement is in the United States. Just look at the over 140 entries in the American IPA category, and look at the full list of winners. It’s extraordinary.

So cheers to all the winners. You’ve already made my week either much more cheerful knowing that I have at least 200 more breweries I need to sample beer from.
