The Great American Beer Festival has once again spotlighted the crème de la crème of the brewing world, awarding 303 medals to the most outstanding commercial breweries in the U.S. |
This prestigious event, conducted by the Brewers Association, is the largest professional beer competition in the nation and a revered emblem of brewing mastery. |
With 99 beer categories, over 9,000 commercial beer entries, and an exceptional showcase of brewing talent—this year's Great American Beer Festival was a true celebration of American craft beer. |
Curious about which breweries stole the show and which brews were crowned the best in the nation? Check out the full list of this year's winners here to see who came out on top! 🏆 |

In case you missed it, San Francisco's iconic Anchor Brewing, the oldest craft brewing company in the nation, officially closed in late July after surviving 127 years, earthquakes, the Great Depression, Prohibition, and two world wars. |
With the impacts of the pandemic, inflation, and a highly competitive market, they were left "with no option but to make this sad decision to cease operations." |
The renowned brewery, owned by Sapporo Breweries, turned over all assets to a liquidator, causing a stir among employees who expressed interest in purchasing the company and its cherished legacy. |
Several Anchor employees were interested in buying the company to keep it running, but claim that Sapporo won't share financial records for them to make an offer. |
Sapporo says the employee bid came too late after a liquidation deal was already made, but workers can still bid on assets through the liquidator. |
Now, employees have legal representation and funding sources, and aim to keep Anchor's legacy alive, with support from loyal customers. |
Four local breweries near Anchor Brewing have pledged their support, and will help the union's mission to buy it back. |
For now, it's the end of an era, and you can no longer buy their beer. But supporters are hopeful that the legacy of Anchor Brewing will be revived by passionate stakeholders. |

Hunger Action Month Highlight: Simple Spirits is fighting hunger one drink at a time 🍸= 🍽️ |
Did you know that 1 out of 9 people in America go hungry every day? Since Simple launched, they've helped provide more than 1,000,000 meals to those in need through local and national hunger relief organizations. 🥘❤️ |
Every 750ml bottle of Platinum Award Winning Simple Vodka is made of 9.5lbs of Idaho Russet Potatoes and fresh water piped in directly from the Snake River aquifer. |
That's it – no added sugar, flavors, preservatives, or other funny stuff. Just potatoes and water, how the vodka gods intended. 🥔💧 |
Most importantly, for every drink of Simple Vodka poured, a meal is donated to local food banks. 1 drink = 1 meal, it's that simple. 😊 |
