A Hoppy Time in Denver: Highlights from the 2024 Great American Beer Festival
The 2024 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) transformed Denver into a beer lover’s paradise from October 10–12, drawing over 40,000 attendees to the Colorado Convention Center. This year’s festival embraced a fresh approach, grouping breweries into themed zones like “Prost!” for a Bavarian biergarten vibe, “Fright” for Halloween-inspired brews, “Blast Off” showcasing experimental flavors, and “Score!” catering to sports enthusiasts. These immersive areas offered attendees a unique way to explore the diverse world of craft beer.
Medal-Worthy Moments
The 2024 GABF competition was fierce, with 1,869 breweries and cideries submitting 8,836 beer entries, 233 cider entries, 95 collaboration entries, and 52 Pro-Am entries across 102 categories. A total of 326 medals were awarded, recognizing excellence in brewing from coast to coast.
Ohio breweries made a significant impact, bringing home seven medals.
Cleveland’s Noble Beast Brewing earned a gold medal for their Belgian-style sour ale, Eau Rouge. Cincinnati’s Streetside Brewery celebrated their first GABF medal, a gold for Black Cats in the English-style brown ale category. Brink Brewing continued their winning streak with a bronze for Moozie in the sweet or cream stout category.
Von Trapp Brewing’s Alpine Achievement
Von Trapp Brewing, nestled in Stowe, Vermont, clinched the “Brewery & Brewer of the Year” title for the 15,001–100,000 barrel category. Their Helles Golden Lager also secured a gold medal in the Munich-style Helles category, showcasing their dedication to traditional brewing techniques.
Expanding the Beverage Horizon
Recognizing evolving consumer preferences, 2024 GABF expanded beyond traditional beer offerings. The festival featured hard seltzers, ciders, ready-to-drink cocktails, and non-alcoholic beers. Notably, Resident Culture’s NARC IPA from Charlotte, NC, won gold in the Pale Non-Alcohol Beer category, highlighting the growing popularity and quality of non-alcoholic options. NA Beer Club
