2008 Beer Competition
For the second straight year, Astoria
Brewing Co.'s Bitter Bitch Double IPA has grabbed the People's Choice Award
at the Spring Beer & Wine Fest.
Despite the brew's bitter name, the win is an especially sweet one for owner
Steve Allen, who lost his brewer right before the Spring Beer & Wine Fest.
Allen was considering having to miss the fest this year after he learned
that they didn't have enough of the award-winning beer for the festival. But
in true "beer community" spirit, a Portland-based brewer from another
brewpub, Vasilios Gletsos, stepped in and brewed up a batch of "the bitch"
just in time for the fest!
The competition was a tight one this year, with many beers garnering
numerous votes. Bitter Bitch only beat the second-place winner, Hopworks
Urban Brewery's Survival Stout, by three votes!
The People's Choice Award is the result of ballots fest-goers submit as they
are sampling among the more than 80 beers at the Spring Beer & Wine Fest.
The 15th Annual Spring Beer & Wine Fest is slated for April 10 & 11, 2009 at
the Oregon Convention Center -- always Easter weekend.
