My apologies but I felt like I had to bastardize some old Queen lyrics in celebration of our recent big win at the 2010 World Beer Cup. Devils Backbone walked away with four medals and the grand prize in our production bracket, the "Champion Brewery and Brewmaster Small Brewpub"!!!! The medals we garnered were for the following beers and categories:
Gold - "Danzig", Baltic-style Porter category
Bronze - "Schwartz Bier", German-style Schwartzbier category
Bronze - "Morning Bear", Coffee Flavored Beer category
Bronze - "Kollaborator", Traditional German-style Bock
Especially gratifying was the fact that "Danzig" our Baltic Porter also won a silver at last years Great American Beer Festival. Also cool was the fact that the "Kollaborator" won a medal because that was a collaborative brew here at DBBC by myself and two of my very respected colleagues; John Bryce from Blacksburg Brewing company, and Matt Reich formerly of Starr Hill.
Also cool was the brewing group my buddy Larry Horwitz works for won the Champion Large Brewpub award. Congrats Iron Hill Brewing Company! If ever up in the greater Philly area check out one of their locations. They do it right.
Well that's about it for now.
Cheers,
Jason
