Examples from GABF Winners List 2019

Gold Medal: Chronic Amber Ale - Pizza Port - Bressi Ranch – Carlsbad, CA

ABV – 4.9%

Notes: Historically brewed with hemp seeds, Chronic Ale has been a staple at Pizza Port for over a decade! This mellow amber ale is the most popular beer in all of our pub locations as it agrees with everyone’s palate and goes great with pizza. It was a dream come true to finally put it in a can and give people the chance to carry it with them wherever they go!


Silver Medal: Cousin Jack - Dostal Alley Brewpub & Casino – Central City, CO

ABV – 4.2%

Notes: A local favorite for over ten years. Our Pub Ale is a English style best bitter. A session ale with plenty of flavor. Always a big hit with home brewers
