Widmer Brothers Take Home 8 New Awards

Two of our longtime favorites received critical accolades. Hefeweizen continues to please judging panels, and was recognized with a medal in each competition (Silver in the AIBA, Bronze in the NABA), and Drop Top Amber took home a Gold medal in the “Ordinary Bitter” category at NABA.

Both of this year’s offerings from our Rotator IPA series medaled: O’Ryely IPA won Bronze in the “Other IPA” category at AIBA, and Hopside Down IPL won Silver in the “Hybrid” category at NABA.

Portland Timbers fans will also be proud to hear that Green & Gold Kölsch, our collaboration beer with the Timber’s Army and the 107ist, took home Silver in the Kölsch category at NABA. RCTID!
