These Are the World Beer Cup Medal-Winning Brews to Try Now in Colorado

Last week more than 8,000 beers from 66 countries were judged in the 2018 World Beer Cup held in Nashville. Colorado breweries took home 28 awards for their brews entered across 101 categories — from session IPAs to dark lagers. In addition to Eater’s Colorado brewery guides, maps, and lists of past GABF medal-winners, this awards roundup should be a good jumping off point for the next taproom tour or six-pack purchase.
