There is a report from Denver that Texas breweries won nine medals – five gold – at the Great American Beer Festival yesterday . There were 4,338 entries this year from 666 breweries across the country.
The Spoetzl Brewery, makers of Shiner, won three first place medals. Spoetzl's Shiner Oktoberfest won in the German-style Marzen category and its best-known beer, Shiner Bock, won in the American-style dark lager category. It also earned gold in the German-style schwarzbier category for its Bohemian Black Lager.
It’s no surprise that Spoetzl fared so well. Like their billboards used to say, Shiner is “Run through Hundreds of Quality Czechs.”
