BrauKon congratulates its customers
2017 Great American Beer Festival®
293 professional medals were awarded to 266 breweries at the Great American Beer Festival® (GABF®) 2017. This festival was presented by the Brewers Association and is the largest commercial beer competition in the world and the premier symbol of brewing excellence.
We congratulate our customer, Saint Arnold Brewing Co. They were awarded as “Mid-Size Brewing Company and Mid-Size Brewing Company Brewer of the Year”. We also congratulate the Odell Brewing Co. for winning the bronze medal in the Great American Beer Festival Pro-Am Competition.
Many of our customers won multiple prizes for their beers at the 2017 Great American Beer Festival®. We are thrilled at the success of our customers. We consider our share in their success small, but not insignificant, as all these beers were brewed in BrauKon plants and using BrauKon products. The brewmasters, however, deserve the honor, as they are the creators of the award winning beers!
Congratulations!
