This is Dogfish Head’s beer board at the Great American Beer Festival. Notice, the off-centered brewery was pouring NOTHING under 10 percent alcohol. No wonder it attracted the biggest crowd at the fest.
Philly-area brewers had their best ever showing at the Great American Beer Festival last weekend. Several well-known standards, including Victory Prima Pils, Troegs Troegenator, Sly Fox Pikeland Pils & Stoudt’s Weizen were among the winners. Even more notable: The region ruled lagers.

Just chatted with Ryan Michaels, the ecstatic brewer at McKenzie Brew House (240 Lancaster Ave., Malvern) following his 2-medal showing at the GABF. His Saison Vautour, which won as the best Belgian-style Saison, is pouring at the brewpub as we speak. To answer the big question: It’s his own recipe, not predecessor Scott Morrison’s. Michaels also won bronze for Wee Heavy (10.5%). Both will be bottled and available in time for the Christmas holidays. This is a huge win for this talented, young brewer.
