Triptych and Destihl won awards at the 2021 Great American Beer Festival

Congrats to Triptych Brewing and Destihl for winning awards at this year’s Great American Beer Festival. Both breweries won awards in the Juicy or Hazy India Pale Ale category out of 427 entries.

Triptych’s Dank Meme, a 5.3% ABV lightly golden pale ale brewed with wheat and oats, won a bronze meda for their flagship brew.

Destihl won two awards for their beers, both beers from their DeadHead IPA series which combines the vibes of Destihl’s favorite music with hoppy beers. The Great American Beer Festival honored two DeadHead IPA beers. Haze of the Dead, a juicy double IPA with oat, wheat, and pils malts at 8.5% ABV, won a bronze medal. Destihl’s TourBus won the gold with its Citra and Mosaic hops and tropical, fruity flavor at 6.8% ABV.

Cheers to both breweries!
