Avalon Park Amber recognized at world’s largest professional beer competition.

Bowigens Beer Company was awarded a Gold medal at the 2020 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) competition, presented by the Brewers Association. The best beers in 91 beer categories covering 170 different beer styles (including all subcategories) were awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals during a virtual ceremony Friday, October 16, hosted on The Brewing Network.

Bowigens Beer Company was recognized in the American-Style Amber/Red Ale beerstyle category for its Avalon Park Amber a Malt sweetness, caramel flavors and a touch of toasty notes are balanced by a classic piney bitterness from American hops. This copper colored, medium budy ale is well rounded and perfect for year round drinkability. Bowigens Beer Company is a Brewery and Taproom located in Casselberry, FL that prides itself as an American Craft Brewery focusing on innovative, culinary inspired and artistically crafted beers.

“It’s an honor to be awarded a gold medal at this year’s GABF. Our team works tirelessly to produce what we consider some of the best beer in the world. It’s always nice to earn a little recognition for that effort. This is a big win for our crew, Cheers!” said Bobby Bowen, Co-Owner/Head Brewer at Bowigens Beer Company.

Judges for the 34th edition of the celebrated competition evaluated 8,806 entries from 1,720 breweries from all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. Socially Distanced judging took place in 35 sessions over 18 days with strict safety measures in place.

“This year’s GABF competition may have looked a little different, but the beers entered into the competition were as impressive and innovation as ever,” said Chris Swersey, competition manager, Great American Beer Festival. “This has arguably been one of the most challenging years breweries have ever faced, so we hope these awards serve as a symbol not only of brewing excellence but also the resiliency of the craft brewing community as a whole.”
