Texas brewers took home 16 medals (6 golds, 5 silvers, 5 bronzes) from this years Great American Beer Festival. Two breweries (Community and Saint Arnold) took home two medals a piece, with Community’s gold medal for their Public Ale being their second consecutive GABF gold for that beer. From what I can tell, this puts Texas third in total medals behind California, Oregon and Colorado. Not too shabby. Without further ado, the winners are:

Gold
Community Public Ale (Extra Special Bitter)
Grapevine Sir Williams’s Brown Ale (English-Style Brown Ale)
Real Ale Benedictum (Belgian-Style Lambic or Sour Ale)
Armadillo Quakertown Stout (Imperial Stout)
Peticolas Great Scot! 2012 (Aged Beer)
Oasis, Texas London Homesick Ale (Ordinary or Special Bitter)

Silver
Austin Beer Works Fire Eagle (American-Style Strong Pale Ale)
Thirsty Planet Yellow Armadillo (American-Style Wheat Beer)
Pedernales Lobo Negro (German-Style Schwarzbier)
5 Stones Aloha Pina (Herb and Spice Beer)
Saint Arnold Summer Pils (Munich-Style Helles)

Bronze
Community Ascension Coffee Porter (Coffee Beer)
Pinthouse Pizza Jaguar Shark (Wood- and Barrel-Aged Strong Stout)
Saint Arnold Weedwacker (German-Style Wheat Beer)
Rahr The Regulator (German-Style Doppelbock or Eisbock)
Shiner Bock (American-Style Dark Lager)

Congrats to all of these Texas breweries!

Nice work by the Texas brewers. The beer scene here has come a long ways in the past few years, even if a few of these beers are surprises as winners to me.

Some of the winners had me scratching my head as well. This makes me want to give a few of these beers another try.
