Blue Mountain Brewery Wins Medal in Largest-Ever International Beer Competition
Afton, VA, 4/15 – Blue Mountain Brewery took home a silver medal in the Brewers Association (BA) World Beer Cup® 2010, a global beer competition that evaluates beers from around the world and recognizes the most outstanding beers being produced in the world today.
Gold, silver and bronze medals in the competition’s 90 beer-style categories were awarded April 10, 2010 during the World Beer Cup Gala Awards Dinner at the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers in Chicago, Ill., U.S.A.
Blue Mountain was awarded a silver in the American Wheat beer style category for its Rockfish Wheat, a spring and summer seasonal beer available in six-packs and on draft around central Virginia. Blue Mountain is a 1,500 barrel a year brewpub and packaging microbrewery located in Nelson County that specializes in American and European beer styles, brewing around twenty styles of beer a year available onsite at their countryside brewery and hops farm and on draft and in bottles around the state.
“Recognition from the BA in the World Beer Cup is very gratifying. It really is the Olympics of beer with so many breweries from all over the world,” said Taylor Smack, brewer and co-owner at Blue Mountain.
World Beer Cup® 2010 winners were selected by an international panel of 179 beer judges from 27 countries. An impressive field of 3,401 entries from 642 breweries in 44 countries made up the competition. More than 3,800 breweries in 100 countries were invited to compete.
