Utah brewers and cider makers brought home more than three dozen medals — including 15 gold — from the North American Brewers Association competition, held recently in Idaho Falls.

Leading the Utah medal count was Templin Family Brewing, in Salt Lake City, with eight awards including two gold for its Atlas Zwickel Bier and its Lingonberry Sour beers.
