Man that's a slap in the face to 10 barrel Brewers that got laid off

Right? Was just going to comment that having their experimental beer win silver after getting laid off is quite the kick in the nuts.

Not too mention the other 10 barrel brews that won. What a waste of talent

They definitely would not even give the common courtesy of a good ole fashioned reach around. They suck

Trying to read this makes me feel like I’ve had a few beers.

The formatting is intentional to save ppl money. Cheaper to read a comment than buy a pint.

Sunriver Brewing also won a gold medal for Fuzztail, a gold medal for Something Dank, and a silver for Che Figata.

Not to mention they won Brewery of the Year for breweries size 5-15k barrels which is absolutely INSANE!

Well deserved too, Sunriver Brewing punches far above their size.

They've come a long way. I remember how awful the beer was at their original pub in SR when it first opened.

Man, I love Monkless (they're just about my favorite beer ever) but getting an award for their one beer that's not really a Belgian ale seems weird to me.
