Sunriver Brewing claimed a gold and two silver awards in the 2023 World Beer Cup, a global beer competition that evaluates beers from around the world and recognizes the most outstanding brewers and their beers.
Awards were given in 103 beer-style categories during the World Beer Cup award ceremony on May 10, 2023, at the Music City Center in Nashville.
Sunriver Brewing was awarded a gold award in the American Strong Pale Ale beer style category for its Something Dank This Way Comes, a silver award for Applied Science West Coast IPA (the largest entered category in the competition), and a silver award for Mocha Cow Chocolate Milk Stout w/ Coffee.
“Our multiple wins at the 2023 WBC are the apex accomplishment for the Sunriver Brewing team. The brewery’s culture of quality, work ethic, and dedication to independent craft beer are reflected in these awards” said Brett Thomas, director of Brewing Operations at Sunriver Brewing Company.
World Beer Cup winners were selected by an international panel of 272 beer judges from 26 countries. Widely regarded as the “Olympics of Beer,” the 2023 World Beer Cup featured 10,213 entries from 2,376 breweries in 51 countries.
“The World Beer Cup brings together the finest brewers and beers from around the globe and celebrates creativity, craftsmanship, and passion for great beer,” said Chris Williams, World Beer Cup competition director. “Receiving a World Beer Cup award is a testament to quality and innovation, and we commend this year’s winners for setting the bar higher than ever.”
Presented by the Brewers Association, the World Beer Cup is held annually to celebrate the art and science of brewing by recognizing outstanding achievement. For additional information, visit the World Beer Cup website.
About Sunriver Brewing Company:
Sunriver Brewing Company’s pub in the Village at Sunriver opened to rave reviews in the summer of 2012. Recognizing that the original pub would not accommodate demand, a 13,000- square foot building was purchased in the Business Park in 2014. Since that time, Sunriver Brewing Company has garnered many national and international awards for their craft beer. The year of 2017 included a major national accomplishment with winning Small Brewing Company of the Year at the Great American Beer Festival. Sunriver Brewing has four pub locations. Two in Bend, one in Eugene and the original location in Sunriver.
