Five first place finishes, two silvers, and three bronze medals. Chicago took home some hardware in the Great American Beer Festival this weekend in Denver.
Here’s a list of all the local winners. Try them all and support local brewing. But you know, don’t try them all at once. And while you are at it, you should try 101WKQX’s very own beer — Q Street. It’s an Alternative-style IPA from Church Street. — [eric]
