The 2014 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) is in the books. 1,309 breweries submitted a grand total of 5,507 beers that were evaluated by a panel of more than 200 beer judges this past week in Denver, CO. Washington breweries took home 10 medals out of the 268 that were awarded in 90 categories, with 6 of those being coveted gold medals. Fremont Brewing walked away with two medals, while Propolis Brewing, Airways Brewing, Sound Brewery, Chuckanut Brewery, Pyramid Breweries, White Bluffs Brewing, Gordon Biersch Seattle and Silver City Brewery all took home one medal. You can see the details below.

Competition is fierce for medals at GABF, particularly in the more popular categories like American Style IPA (279 entries). Brewers work hard on their craft, and taking home one of these medals is a rewarding result of their long hours and dedication.

Cheers to all of the Washington breweries that took home hardware from this year’s competition, and I hope to see even more breweries submit beers and find success at the 2015 competition.
