There were more than 3,500 beers being poured at GABF this past weekend. You probably did’t try them all.

October 7, 2016 | David Thompson
ABV: 4.7% | IBU: 12
Winning a medal at GABF is a big deal, and for a craft brewer it could be validation of years of work and passion.

October 5, 2016 | Chris Day
The Great American Beer Festival is huge. With almost 800 breweries on the roster, it feels like you have the whole craft beer world at your fingertips when you step on that tasting floor.
