Utah brewers earn 24 medals — including 5 golds — at beer competition

Utah brewers brought home two dozen medals — including five golds, eight silvers and 11 bronzes — from the International Beer Awards competition, held this past weekend in Idaho Falls.

Red Rock Brewing Co., of Salt Lake City, was the big winner, awarded five medals — including two golds for its Marvella Tripel and Citra Pils, an American-style Pilsner.

Other first-place awards went to Epic Brewing Co. and Shades Brewing Co., both in Salt Lake City, and Hoppers Grill in Midvale.

Two of Salt Lake City’s newest brewers — Kiitos and TF Brewing Co.— were medalists, as were two Ogden breweries — Roosters and Talisman. The showing marks a good sign for the future of brewing in the state, especially as producers prepare for Nov. 1, when higher-alcohol beer will be allowed in Utah grocery and convenience stores.

Sanctioned by the North American Brewers Association, the competition featured nearly 2,000 beers, ciders, meads and sodas from around the country in 20 categories and numerous subcategories.
