World Beer Cup was held last week. notable
winners:
- Fat Head did really well for themselves, taking gold in american IPA (Head Hunter) and another gold in strong red ale (Bone Head). as is always the case nowadays, amIPA was the most-entered category (412).
- DC Brau raked in a gold for their Penn Quarter Porter in the robust porter category.
- the USA was the clear leader, with over 80% of the medals (approx), and Canada was the clear second. as much as it would be fun to claim this as "proof" of the superiority of north american brewing, this competition is only "lightly international"... vast majority of entries come from those two countries.
- Argentina won as many medals as Belgium
