At this competition, a panel of expert judges blind-taste tested 2360 beers from 50 countries in 75 categories at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center in Germany.
A blind-taste test of 2360 beers would probably end in falling-down-blind-drunk. But that's not the point.
The point is that the United States won a medal in each of the three Stout categories in the European Beer Star Competition, an international beer event: Forty-Ninth State Brewing (Anchorage, AK) took a Bronze in the general category of Stout. River North Brewery (Denver, CO) took Gold in the category of Flavored or Pastry Stout. And No-Li Brewhouse (Spokane, WA) took Silver in the category of Imperial Stout.
That's very stout indeed.
In fact, the USA took home 32 medals in 29 categories. The whole list is here. There are probably some breweries on that list you will recognize.
Congratulations to all and Próst.
