WeldWerks Brewing Co. Lands in Zymurgy® Magazine’s Top Ten “Best Beers in America” for Second Year in a Row

From Sudwerk:

GREELEY, CO —WeldWerks Brewing Company’s Juicy Bits was named in the 2019 Best Beers in America survey conducted by Zymurgy Magazine, the publication of the American Homebrewers Association (AHA). For the 17th consecutive year, the survey asked AHA members to nominate and vote on their favorite commercial beers available for purchase in the United States.

WeldWerks moved up from 17th to 12th place in the Top Ranked Breweries category, and Juicy Bits earned the #9 spot in the Top Ranked Beers category. This is the second year in a row the brewery has placed in this category, moving up one spot from #10 last year.

“Honestly, when Juicy Bits tied for 10th last year, I thought it must have been a mistake. We had been open for just over three years and we produced just less than 6,000 bbls in 2018, which made us the smallest and youngest brewery in the top 10 by a fair margin. Now in 2019, with Juicy Bits climbing a spot to number 9, I realize that it wasn’t our beer that I underestimated, it was our team. Every single employee here works tirelessly to make WeldWerks such a special place, and the way homebrewers and beer enthusiasts have latched on to our brand is a reflection of their dedication to excellence,” said Neil Fisher, Co-Owner and Head Brewer at WeldWerks Brewing Co.

Garnering national and local acclaim, WeldWerks’ version of the New England-style IPA features a huge citrus and tropical fruit hop character from the Mosaic, Citra, and El Dorado hops and a softer, smoother mouthfeel from the adjusted water chemistry, higher protein malts, and lower attenuation. The end result is a beer reminiscent of citrus juice with extra pulp.

“We are incredibly grateful for all of our customers who have supported us for over four years now, and we look forward to continuing to defy expectations!” said Fisher.
