Minneapolis, MN  (May 6, 2022) – Bend-based 10 Barrel Brewing is proud to announce that Tonya Cornett secured three medals, including one gold, one silver and one bronze— at the World Beer Cup, held yesterday in Minneapolis, Minn. The World Beer Cup is often described as “The Olympics of Beer Competitions,” and one of the most prestigious beer competitions in the world. The 2022 edition winners were chosen on May 5th during an award presentation broadcast live by the Brewing Network. The three medals also set 10 Barrel apart as the most awarded Oregon brewery.
