2019 Aiba Award Results

We were also very pleased with the results of the night’s awards. We won one bronze medal, four silver medals, three gold medals and a Aiba award championship trophy for intermediate beer. We weren’t the only local brewery to perform strongly, 

as Green Beacon won the overall brewery championship trophy for the third year in a row, and Balter won the overall championship trophy for the third year in a row.

Sometimes it’s hard to understand all the medals and trophies Aiba award and what they mean. Medals are awarded if a beer reaches a certain score, so there may be multiple bronze, silver and gold medals in each category. Only one trophy per category is awarded to the beer with the highest gold medal score.

From our perspective, winning any medal at the AIBAs is a huge accomplishment for a brewery. Brewing beer to style is a showcase of quality and consistency, and we love having the opportunity to submit our beers to the beer judges each year.

Winning a gold medal is a huge thrill, and winning a beer trophy for the second year in a row is a rare honor.

The cast process beings the same as blown, with beads of resin being fed into a heated barrel and being forced through a narrow slotted die. This ‘sheet’ of film the die produced is then fed along a rolling path that has been cooled, 

which solidifies the film. It is then Aiba award brought through the final stages of production and made into large rolls. This method is much faster than the blown extrusion method and also costs less, 

as more can be produced per man-hour. Machine stretch wrap is the most common type of film produced by this method.
