  1. Gordon Biersch Seattle also won Gold for Traditional German-style Bock. It was mistakenly listed as Gordon Biersch Las Vegas.

  2. Thanks Kevin,
    The post was changed to include GB SEA’s gold medal win. Cheers!

  3. Small breweries are cheating at these competitions – enter beer not brewed by entrant.
