The Bend-based brewery had an extremely successful week of recognition at The Best of Craft Beer Awards and Oregon Beer Awards, respectively.
Earning the title of Best Performing Brewery, 10 Barrel took home nine winning medals out of 20 beers entered at the 2020 Best of Craft Beer Awards on February 9.
10 Barrel’s success continued into the Oregon Beer Awards last week where judges made up of professional brewers, cicerones, journalists and other beer experts tasted 1,260 beers in a double-blind competition that awarded only 90 beer style medals total. 10 Barrel was the second most awarded of any brewery this year, taking home seven awards at the end of the evening.
These medals not only speak to the quality of beer 10 Barrel produces but is also a testament to the kind of commitment and creativity that is coming from 10 Barrel’s team of exceptional brewmasters.
