Rahr's Bucking Bock has won a Bronze Medal at the 2008 World Beer Cup Competition. This is Rahr's first medal at the World Beer Cup. Needless to say we are thrilled and very proud. Special thanks and congratulations to our brewers J.B Flowers who accepted the award April 19 in San Diego, Fritz Rahr and to their volunteer helpers at Rahr - Bill Knowlton, Joe Pugliano, and Mark Wedge.
Bucking Bock won Bronze in the German-Style Heller Bock/Maibock. A brewery from Germany, Privatbrauerei Hoepfner GmbH took the gold.
The 2008 Brewers Association World Beer Cup awarded medals to brewers from 21 countries ranging from Australia and Italy to Bolivia and Japan. This year, 644 breweries from 58 countries and 45 U.S. states vied for awards with 2,864 beers entered in 91 beer style categories. The top three entries in each category won gold, silver and bronze medals.
The good news is we have another batch of Bucking Bock at the brewery that will be ready for bottling at the end of April!
