White Labs and
GABF 2007
White Labs customers again won many awards at
the 2007 Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colo.
Customers won medals in 61 categories. The
medal count for customers included 35 gold, 30 silver and 41 bronze
medals.
Significantly, White Labs customers swept many
specialty categories.
In all, 100 judges evaluated
2,793 beers. A total of 222 medals were awarded in 75 beer style
categories and top breweries and brewers were designated based on
the total number of medals won, according to the
Brewers Association.
White Labs participated in many functions for
brewers. Employees organized the brewers gathering at Wynkoop
Brewing Co. on Wednesday, the evening before opening day. The event
was sponsored by CBQ, which is the newsletter for White Labs and
other companies.
After the first day's festiivities ended on
Thursday, brewers and others gathered at a nearby Rock Bottom
for Rocktoberfest. This event was sponsored by CBQ,
Boelter & RB . Brewers and others were invited
to dress in costume, and many enthusiastically complied.
White Labs was also a co-sponsor, along
with Hopunion, of the AlphaKing Challenge,
held at Falling Rock. Results of the challenge and other news
from the GABF will be published in the next issue of CBQ.
