2009 Beer Competition

Three Breweries Win Double Medals at Spring Beer & Wine Fest Brewery Competition

PORTLAND, ORE. – In a field of nearly 90 beers, three breweries garnered double medals over the weekend in the annual Spring Beer & Wine Fest beer competition, and another 13 breweries also medaled in the event.

Bend-based Deschutes Brewing, Hawaii’s Kona Brewing and Everett-Wash.-based Lazy Boy Brewing each won two medals in the competition. Kona grabbed two golds – one for Longboard Lager in the Lager category and one for Wailua Wheat in the Wheat category. Deschutes’ Miss Spelt, a German spelt ale, won silver in the broad Other category and its Hop Henge won silver in the IPA/Double IPA category. Lazy Boy won silver in the Belgian category with its Belgian Golden and garnered a second silver medal in the Red/Amber category with its Double Red.

Astoria Brewing Company won a “threepeat” at the Spring Beer & Wine Fest last weekend with its popular “Bitter Bitch Double IPA” taking the People’s Choice Award for the third year in a row. Unlike the judged beer event that is connected to the fest, the People’s Choice award is purely voted on by attendees at the festival.
