Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I hate to beat the Great American Beer Festival to death, but as "the biggest selection of American beers ever gathered together on the globe," it was certainly a news worthy event. And those of you who have taken a peek at the winners' list know the results can take some time to sort through.
Which is why Brian Kolesar has done us a great service by breaking down the results of this year's fest and giving us "a few numbers to ponder." As he so eloquently understates it, "a mere 230 medals were awarded to 142 different breweries/brewpubs across 81 categories." Did I mention the GABF is the Guinness World Record Holder for beers tapped in one location?
Eleven breweries or brewpubs brought home four or more medals: MillerCoors, Lost Abbey/Pizza Port, Rock Bottom, Firestone Walker, Iron Hill, AleSmith, Anheuser-Busch, Alaskan, Pabst, Pyramid, The SandLot. Though as you can tell, you need to be in it to win it, so many of the above provided plenty of enteries.
Any of the beers on the winner's list near and dear to your heart? Let us know in the comments.

You see, my father was one of the founders of AleSmith and it's still his recipe that's used for the original beer (sorry, not sure what the name is as I was not living there when this was all taking place). He's not with the brewery anymore but still has ties with them.
