Sockeye Brewing of Boise tops list of Idaho medal winners at North American Beer Awards

Don’t mess with the fish.

Much like last year, Sockeye Brewing dominated the list of Boise-area breweries picking up bling at last weekend’s 21st North American Beer Awards. Sockeye picked up six awards, including two Gold Medals. The competition, held in conjuction with the Mountain Brewers Beer Fest at Sandy Point in Idaho Falls, involved six double-blind tasting sessions. In the days leading up to the June 6 brew festival — which attracted a crowd of 6,500 — judges graded beers based on set style guidelines.

Congratulations to the Treasure Valley breweries who entered and earned awards:
