Great American Beer Festival Preview
This year's Great American beer Festival is taking place in Denver, Colorado from September 24th-26th. Fourteen breweries from New York will be pouring their beers at the festival. According to Rick Lyke, New York breweries won 98 medals at the GABF from 1987-2007, which was good for 8th best in the country. Genesee Cream Ale won 10 medals over that time period which was good enough to tie for 2nd among all beers (2 Golds, 5 Silvers, and 3 Bronze).
Below is a list of all of the breweries, and the beers that they are pouring, and the list of medals that they have won in the past. I will be updating this last daily as the breweries decide what they will be pouring next month.
