Mystery Brewing Company earned a silver medal for La Querelle, a Belgian-style ale. Duck-Rabbit Brewery won two medals - a silver for their Marzen and a bronze for their Schwarzbier.

Breweries west of the Triangle took home some hardware too:

  • Pisgah Brewing Company - Chocolatized (Chocolate Beer) - Gold medal
