City Star Leads Colorado Breweries with Three Medals at 2014 US Open Beer Championship

BERTHOUD, Colo. - July 11, 2014 - PRLog -- City Star Brewing received the honor of winning three medals in the U.S. Open Beer Championship: Gold for "Night Watchman" in the robust porter category, Silver for "Harley's Ol' One Eye Honey Wheat" in the American wheat category, and Bronze for "6 Shooter" in the English pale ale category. City Star is one of only nine Colorado breweries to medal at the competition, leading the pack with three medals.

Taproom beer slinger Amanda Curtis says, "I've always thought the Night Watchman was too tasty to not win a gold medal!".

Results from the Atlanta, Georgia based competition were released July 4th, 2014. Breweries from around the world submitted their brews alongside national gold medal winning home brewers.
