While McCoy's beers didn't place in this year's GABF, our Kansas City brothers in brewing came home with two golds! Congratulations to Boulevard, picking up gold medals in the Other Strong Beer category with Reverb and ZON winning the Belgian-Style Witbier category. They have a great post that goes into some more details of the fest and judging - Bringing Home the Gold!!!
You're going to have a chance to sample a few winners from GABF at the Beer KC Strong Ale Fest! Below is an ever-evolving list of beers that will be on tap. Some of the medal winners include a couple locals - Lawrence, KS's Free State won a bronze in American-Style Stout with Iron Man Imperial Stout, and Perennial from St. Louis took silver in Other Strong Beer with Heart of Gold (a wheat wine).
Firestone Walker's Wookey Jack won the gold in American-Style Black Ale, and Sierra Nevada got the Imperial Stout silver (while the official GABF list of winners doesn't have the Narwhal name listed, I'm pretty sure it's the same beer).
Some other highlights from the lineup thus far -
- the St. Louis breweries. I've been to St. Louis a few times, so I've been lucky enough to try most of the breweries. They're all solid, and now, some of them will be in our backyard! While 2nd Shift hasn't announced what they're bringing yet, I'll vouch for them. Everything I've had from them has been great. Ditto 4 Hands and Perennial. Then there our friends who have been in town for a little while now, 6 Row, Cathedral Square, and Schlafly.
- some new beers, and vintage beers. '11 and '12 Backwoods Bastard. '10 Imperial Russian Stout from Stone. Chasin' Freshies and Black Butte XXIV from Deschutes. Narwhal Imperial Stout from Sierra Nevada. New Belgium Imperial Coffee Chocolate Stout. Mother's Thing 2. Yes yes yes yes yes.
- local favorites. 75th Street, Free State, Amerisports, Boulevard, and of course McCoy's. I may be a homer, but I'm excited for the '10, '12, and Laphroaig oak-aged Wee Willy Scotch Ale. And the Quad. And the Rye-on-Rye.
A few notes before we get to the beers. Advance tickets are $30, and available online at http://www.etix.com/ticket/online/performanceSearch.jsp?performance_id=1663931, or you could head in to McCoy's and get the tickets without the service fee. Designated drivers will be given free admittance for being great people, so stay safe and get one lined up! If tickets are available day of the fest, they will be $35. The fest will be taking place on November 3rd, from 1 - 5 pm, on Pennsylvania between McCoy's and Kelly's.
Now, without further ado, the important stuff!
