Big yays for San Diego beers
Five dozen medals awarded at Los Angeles International Beer Competition
Hess didn't win anything for their popular kolsch style but they did earn medals of every kind.
San Diego breweries ramped up their domination of the Los Angeles International Beer Competition, picking up 60 of the 258 medals awarded, and a full quarter of the golds handed out — 22, to go with 20 silvers.
Once again, Intergalactic Brewing led the field, following up its ten-medal haul in 2016 with six awards, four of them gold. Likewise, Council Brewing enjoyed another great year, increasing its medal tally from four to five, plus an honorable mention.
Contributing to the overall increase of medals coming home to San Diego was the presence of AleSmith, which tied Intergalactic in leading all breweries with its six medals, three golds.
Belching Beaver picked up four medals, including a gold, and so did Kilowatt Brewing. South Park Brewing also nabbed four medals, plus an honorable mention. Though it didn't claim gold, it claimed a notable moral victory when its Tongues of Angels pale ale edged out AleSmith's popular Tony Gwynn collaboration, .394 Pale Ale, to take silver in that category.
Also contributing to San Diego's big year were three new breweries picking up medals. Eppig Brewing and Resident Brewing each picked up two medals, as did the returning Indian Joe. All three won a gold medal, with Resident's coming in the always competitive American IPA category, with its Urbanite IPA.
Rounding out the big winners were Mike Hess, with one of each medal color, and New English Brewing, winner of two gold medals and an honorable mention.
A full list of winners may be found here. Interesting to note: San Diego's Latitude 33 and 32 North were not among the winners, but a Latitude 42 out of Michigan was, in addition to a 42 North from Upstate New York. Good luck keeping that straight.
