White Labs and
GABF 2009
It was another good year for White Labs customers at the Great American Beer Festival, held
Sept. 24-26 in Denver, Colo.
The
medal count for customers included 30 gold, 31 silver and 33 bronze
medals.
In all, 132 judges from 10 countries evaluated
thousands of beers. The top five medal winning states were
CO (45), CA (39), OR (22), WA (13), and
PA (12).
About 49,000 people attended,
a slight increase from the previous year.
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 festivities ended on
Thursday, brewers and others gathered at a nearby Rock Bottom
for Rocktoberfest. This event was sponsored by CBQ and others.
White Labs was also a co-sponsor, along
with Hopunion and others, of the AlphaKing Challenge,
held at Falling Rock.
