Oregon breweries took home an impressive haul of medals at this past weekend’s Great American Beer Festival in Denver.
In all, Oregon breweries and cideries took home 29 of the 347 medals handed out at what is widely considered to be the nation’s most preeminent beer festival. To put that another way, more than 8 percent of all available medals were awarded to Oregon, a state with just over 1 percent of America’s total population.
