Nebraska Brewing Company Wins at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival
World Class in Every Glass
(Papillion, NE) – Nebraska Brewing Company today announces winning a Gold and Bronze
medal at the 2011 Great American Beer Festival (GABF).
The 2011 Great American Beer Festival® (GABF) competition drew an impressive field of competitors, topping last year's entries by 11
percent. GABF remains the largest commercial beer competition in the world, with 3,930 beers vying for medals in this year’s
competition, compared to 3,523 entries in 2010. Competition entries were received from 526 breweries from 48 states plus Puerto Rico.
This year's GABF competition attracted 167 beer judges from nine countries. The competition was aided by the efforts of 107 volunteers.
Award-winning brewers received prestigious gold, silver and bronze medals in 83 beer categories covering 134 beer styles (encompassing
subcategories), establishing the best examples of each style in the U.S. Nebraska Brewing Company was awarded a Gold Medal for the
Reserve Series beer Melange a Trois in the extremely competitive Wood and Barrel Aged Strong Beer category. There were 118 entries
competing in this style, the 2nd most competitive style within GABF. Nebraska Brewing Company also garnered a Bronze Medal for the
German Hefeweizen beer, named EOS, in another very competitive category of South German-Style Hefeweizen. There were 64 entries
competing in this style.
Paul Kavulak, President of Nebraska Brewing Company stated: “We are beyond thrilled to have made an indelible mark within an
industry that we enjoy so much.” Adding further, “Scoring Gold, and being able to claim number 1 in the United States, and doing so
creating a barrel aged beer that takes nearly 8 months to create is fantastic for not only Nebraska Brewing Company but for the rest of
the brewers who call Nebraska their home as well. World class beers truly are made right here in Papillion.”
Kim Kavulak, Vice President of Nebraska Brewing Company added: “Bringing home two medals in the largest beer competition in the
world is amazing. We are proud to be the first brewery from Nebraska to ever bring home a Gold Medal from GABF. The barrel aging
program and the resulting beers have become a great little gem for us.
We are equally as proud that one of the beers we produce every day (EOS German Hefeweizen) has been recognized in such prestigious
company.”
Nebraska Brewing Company was formed in November of 2007 and has established itself as a Midwest Innovator of quality Craft Beers and
artisanal Barrel-Aged Products. Building on a reputation for quality, flavor, and creativity – Nebraska Brewing Company strives to be a
stand-out in an ever growing field.
Nebraska Brewing Company is proud to be a locally owned and locally operated brewpub in Papillion, Nebraska. Small, independent, and
pushing the envelope.
