More than 46,000 people attended and participated in the 2008 Great American Beer Festival this past weekend in Denver. One hundred and twenty seven judges from 11 countries judged the beer competition that featured 2,902 beers from around the country.
There were 222 medals awarded in 75 beer style categories.
Lakefront Brewery won a silver medal for New Grist in the Gluten-Free Beer category, while Coors Light, now owned by MillerCoors, won gold for American-Style Light Lager. In the American-Style Light Lager category that Coors Light won, Old Milwaukee Light took the silver while Keystone Light (also owned by MillerCoors) took the bronze.
Other MillerCoors products like OE 800, Henry Weinhard's Blue Boar Pale Ale, Hamm's and Henry Weinhard's Hefeweizen also took home awards.
Old Scratch Barley Wine '99, from Madison's Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co. took the bronze in the Old Ale or Strong Ale category.

Milwaukee "Beast" wasn't judged? What about the new Schlitz? I bet the judges wondered how they got such a horrible hangover the next day.

Are we sure those were the results for American-Style Light Lager and not Beer That Most Resembles Urine?
