Five breweries in Wisconsin took home awards at the Great American Beer Festival that concluded over the weekend in Denver.Wis State Journal
Capital Brewery in Middleton took bronze in the German-style wheat ale category for its Weizen Doppelbock, while New Glarus Brewing in New Glarus took bronze in the fruit beer category with its Raspberry Tart beer.
Gold medals went to Stevens Point Brewery in the American-style wheat beer with yeast category for its Point Horizon Wheat and Titletown Brewing in Green Bay in the Bohemian-style pilsner for its Boathouse Pilsner.
In the American-style lager or light lager category, Miller Brewing in Milwaukee took gold with its Miller Lite and bronze with its Miller Genuine Draft. The brewery also took a gold in the American-style specialty lager or cream ale category with its Hamm’s beer.[weeeeelll actually although based in Milwaukee, WI, Miller is owned by SABMiller (South African Breweries) based out of London. And do we really qualify Miller Lite as "beer" or perhaps "Tainted Water"]
The competition drew 3,523 beers vying for medals in 79 categories.

I've never tried Titletown Brewing, sounds like I better put it on my list. Actually, I've never run across it sold on the west SIIIIIIIEEEEDE of the state either. It would be interesting to see if Catholic Beer Review gives us his analysis....
