Two Montana breweries, Lewis and Clark Brewing Company and Copper Furrow Brewing, made headlines at the World Beer Cup by winning awards for their beers. Max Pigman, president of Lewis and Clark Brewing Company, expressed his excitement about winning gold for Miner’s Gold Hefeweizen American wheat beer. This beer, which was the first one brewed by the company, has now won gold at the World Beer Cup for the second time. Pigman credited his team for their dedication to quality and consistency in producing this award-winning beer, which has a 5% alcohol content and a cloudy citrus flavor.
On the other hand, Copper Furrow Brewing earned a bronze award for its Tmavé international dark lager. Head brewer Nick Diehl expressed his gratitude for the accolade, emphasizing the significance of winning such a prestigious award from judges who are experts in the field. Tmavé has been brewed for over two years and is known for its richness and slightly roasted taste, similar to a pilsner but with more depth of flavor. Diehl admitted that winning a major award as the only person responsible for brewing was especially gratifying.
Two other Montana breweries also won Bronze awards – Sacred Brewing Company in Kalispell and MAP Brewing Company in Bozeman. The competition at the World Beer Cup was fierce, with breweries from around the world participating and showcasing their talents in crafting world-class beers.
