Congrats to our very own Portland based Allagash Brewing Company! They’re proud to announce they’ve continued their 4-year medal streak at the renowned Great American Beer Festival (GABF), taking home three medals including Brewery/Brewer of the Year. GABF is the most widely-entered beer competition in America, with more than 2,000 breweries submitted for the 2023 competition, which took place September 21-23 in Denver, Colorado.
Allagash’s 2023 GABF honors included:
- Gold Medal for Tripel in the Belgian-style Abbey Ale category
- Silver Medal for Allagash White in the Belgian-style Witbier category
- Brewery and Brewer of the Year in the “Brewery Group” size category
This year’s GABF wins are also especially significant for Allagash White, bringing the number of GABF medals that Allagash White has won to 8, including 4 Gold, 2 Silver, and 2 Bronze. Add that to the 7 more medals that Allagash White has won at the World Beer Cup and Euro Beer Star Awards (the other two most widely-entered international beer competitions) and this victory further cements Allagash White as the most-awarded Belgian-style witbier in the world.* It also brings the number of medals that Tripel has won to 6 (4 Gold, 2 Silver).
