I attended the Awards Ceremony. If I had known
ahead I could have had breakfast there plus treated to a real commerative glass
and a breakfast beers. Minus the breakfast, I did get a breakfast stout in a
real glass and drank it while listen to Governor Hickenlooper address the
auditorium that was full of brewery industry folks.
I sat close to the nosebleed seats and with my
trusty iPad on my lap, I typed the names of the Colorado Breweries that received
awards for their brews. I realized how important this event was after seeing
the excitement and yells of brewers and staff after hearing their beer names
called along with the brewery names. I was amazed on how many categories
there was this year, 90 styles of beer, which made for a longer morning then I
had expected.
After the ceremony I was off to the main hall and
the beer fest. It was all ready crowded and this is the member’s only session.
I did stop off at the Short's Brewing booth to get the Gold award winning Key
Lime Ale. It was very key lime in flavor with an added taste to my palate, of
graham cracker crust.
I didn't taste much this time around because it was
time to go home. Congratulations to all the award winners and better luck next
year to the rest! See you next year at GABF 2015!
