Dayton Breweries Bring Home The Awards

May 21, 2018 By Lisa Grigsby

This past weekend in Lexington, KY the finale of their Craft Beer week celebration was the Alltech Craft Brews and Food Fest. With 60 breweries pouring over 200 beers from across the US, the highlight of the festival is the Commonwealth Cup Craft Beer Competition. Beers were judged on appearance, aroma, flavor, body, color, carbonation, foam, clarity, balance, drinkability, technical quality, and overall impression.

 

The  Commonwealth Cup was awarded to the highest rated beer, which this year was awarded to Braxton Brewing Company for their Barrel Aged Dark Charge Mole Stout.

 

In addition to the Commonwealth Cup three tiers of recognition were awarded: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. A gold medal beer is an outstanding beer that displays the correct balance of taste, aroma and appearance appropriate for the style, and excellent technical merit.  Dayton breweries bringing home the Gold are:

 

Dayton Beer Company – 3 Gold Medals:
Beast of Tadmor Village, Upright Smoked Lager,
Midnight Dream

Hairless Hare – 3 Gold Medals:
Imperial CRV, Barrel Aged Barley Wine, Barrel Aged Cold War

 

A silver medal beer is an excellent product that displays the correct balance of taste, aroma and appearance appropriate for the style, and a high level of technical merit. The Miami Valley can claim seven silvers:

Crooked Handle – 2 Silver Medals:
Wee Bit O Trouble, Roadside Peanut Butter Porter
Hairless Hare – 4 Silver Medals:
Bitter Hare,  3 Quarter Porter, Kings Reserve, Kickback Kolsch
The Dayton Beer Company Lost Tunnel Deep Sea Diving
A bronze medal beer is a quality product with the correct balance of taste, aroma and appearance appropriate for the style, and the absence of major faults.  Area breweries brought in six bronze medals:
Devil Wind Brewing – 2 Bronze Medals
Heading East,  Steel Cut Stout
Lock 27 – 4 Bronze Medals
Alpheaus, Mouth Breather, Waterway, Brewing Charlosta
Crooked Handle:  Trinity Haze

 

A great showing for Dayton breweries, especially for Devil Wind to medal, as a rookie brewery.  We’re lucky to have such great local beers in the Miami Valley.  Hope you get a chance to taste all these award winners soon!
