NABA Awards Triple Award
Wow more good news.. we hit a triple at the North American Beer Awards this year! This is a pretty stiff competition held in conjuction with the Mountain Brewers Festival in Idaho. I bravely entered our Schild Brau Amber, Maifest, John’s Generations White ale, Colony Oatmeal Stout, and Rootbeer into six categories. If your reading this, thats only five entries… I entered the Schild Brau twice, because I think it lies on the border of the Vienna Lager and Martzen Oktoberfest categories. Well guess what, we recieved a Gold Medal in each category! Look at the 2005 winners list! Hooray!
Also the John’s Generation’s White Ale got a Silver Medal! This is just great… we have entered for the last two years, and only recieved two medals, a silver and a bronze.
I hope this is a sign of good things to come at the GABF and World Cup competitions later this year. Those competitions don’t allow you to enter one beer into two categories, so i’ll have to make some tough decisions. Vienna, or Martzen?

Congratulations! Beating out an A-B product, too. Now that’s priceless! There are some very good breweries on that list—definitely some good company to be in.
In a completely unrelated aside, I was pleased to see a sign outside a Dyersville restaurant that read, “Enjoy a Warsh Pail Ale.”

That would be Country Junction Restaurant www.countryjunctionrestaurant.com/
I did a beer food pairing there not too long ago… they have some pretty good food! If only all small town restaurants were so progressive…
Back to the contest.. what the heck is Michelob Marzen anyway? I thought they only did one dark beer, the ubiquitous amber bock….

Maybe a test product, or a side project for the main brewer? I certainly haven’t seen it around, not that I look hard for new A-B product (Guin-Bare Knuckle Stout-ness, anyone?)
