A great sushi beer and excellent on cask, as it is sometimes at ChurchKey. Simple, well put together, and refreshing. Silver: 5 Rabbit Golden Ale, 5 Rabbit Cerveceria, Bedford Park, ILīronze: Gold, Heavy Seas Beer, Baltimore, MDĪnalysis: One of the more underrated beers that’s widely available around this area.

Gold: Rauchbier, Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant – Annapolis, Annapolis, MD We haven’t checked this beer out, but will be sure to do so and report back to you as it’s a favorite style among DCBeer staffers. Nice to see that pay off in terms of medals.

Silver: Old Pro Gose, Union Craft Brewing, Baltimore, MDīronze: Berliner Weiss, Fegley’s Brew Works, Allentown, PAĪnalysis: No surprise here. Gold: Reserve Wheat Ale, Telegraph Brewing Co., Santa Barbara, CA Very strong work by Kristi Griner to pick up a medal so early into her tenure with Cap City.Ĭategory: 66 – German-Style Sour Ale – 80 Entries Seems like we should add Amber Waves to our referral list. Silver: Amber Waves Ale, Capitol City Brewing Co., Arlington, VAīronze: Rocco Red Ale, Bootlegger’s Brewery, Fullerton, CAĪnalysis: On occasion we’re asked to recommend a good, solid amber ale, and we usually point people to Rock Bottom in Bethesda, which won a gold medal in 2006 with their Raccoon Red.
