Hyannis, Massachusetts – Cape Cod Beer is excited to announce that over the weekend it was awarded two gold medals at the Great International Beer Festival (GIBF) in Providence, RI. Cape Cod Beer won a gold medal in the American Amber Ale category for its Cape Cod Red ale and a gold medal in the Wheat Beer category for its Dunkel Weizen.
The 12th Annual Great International Beer Competition was held on Friday, November 7, 2007, in Providence, Rhode Island, one day before the 15th Annual Great International Beer Festival. One hundred eighty-seven beers from 39 breweries representing 10 states entered the competition. Forty-five professional brewers and beer industry journalists acted as judges in a blind tasting format. First, second and third place awards were presented in 17 categories of ales and lagers. The judges knew only the style and subcategory of each beer. The official winner’s list/press release from the event can be found on our website www.CapeCodBeer.com
“This is a great achievement for us”, explains Brewmaster Todd Marcus. “The other winners in our categories are serious national brands, so being the gold medal winner in a highly competitive category along with national breweries like Coors, Flying Dog, Rogue and Long Trail - that says a lot about our commitment to quality, and our ability to make world class beers right here on Cape Cod. The brew crew here at the brewery was really pumped up about it too – it’s always nice to be recognized for your efforts!”
