The World Beer Championships are conducted every year, throughout the year, by the Beverage Testing Institute of Chicago, Illinois. It's not a festival but a judging done under controlled conditions.
The 2007 results have been announced, and Clipper City's Brewmaster Ernesto Igot has asked me to post them here — those that pertain to Clipper City Brewing Company, that is! Clipper City entered beers in 3 lager categories.
- Balto MärzHon received a Silver Medal in the Vienna Märzen category, with an 86 score.
- Small Craft Warning Über Pils received a Silver Medal in the Pilsner category, scoring an 88.
- McHenry Lager, entered in the Pale Lager category, received a a Gold Medal with a score of 91. (Evincing a bit of gentle schadenfreude, Ernesto pointed out that San Miguel Beer received only a bronze medal. Igot had been brewmaster there, in Manila, for 21 years, before emigrating to the United States.)
I am a Territory Manager for the Clipper City Brewing Company.
Congratulations! Small Craft Warning is one of my favorite Clipper City beers. It's a frequent visitor to my fridge, though its stays are short-lived. :-)
