There is something about this time of year (March) that get’s us feeling nostalgic. It could be because it is our PA Beer Bracket season, where we are reminded of how subjective beer tastes really can be.
So it is in the spirit of nostalgia that we went into the archives to take a look at all of the gold medal Great American Beer Fest (GABF) winners for the past 10 years coming from Pennsylvania. In the past decade, two Pennsylvania beers repeated as champions; both taking home three gold medals over that time! With Tröegs Brewing producing seven Gold winning beers in the last 10 years!
See the full list for yourself.
