California did exceedingly well, bringing home more Gold than any other state in the Great American Beer Festival competition in Denver, Colorado October 11-13, 2012. The Golden State (California) won 20 Gold, 16 Bronze, 12 Silver and 1 Special Award. Competing in 84 beer categories (covering 134 different beer subcategory styles,) California winners have reason to be proud. It’s the 2nd feather in their cap after the state’s craft brewers brought home a total of 55 medals\u00a0 (more medals than any other of 54 countries,) from the World Beer Cup 2012 in May.<\/p>\n
