Wisconsin at the 2010 World Beer Cup

Fox River Brewing's 2010 Silver

Wisconsin did all right Saturday night at the 2010 World Beer Cup in Chicago. Five Wisconsin breweries won a total of 7 awards. That two of those awards went to Miller Brewing for beers that have more to do with delivering alcohol than flavor isn’t anything to get excited about, but so what. The Grumpy Troll in Mount Horeb had a great year and our own Fox River Brewing surprised a lot of people by bringing home a Silver in the Kӧlsch division.
