NABA 2011 Awards for Colorado Breweries

Colorado brewers picked up a few awards at the North American Brewers Association (NABA) judging last week. I'll note that we didn't win a whole lot of golds though unfortunately, the majority of medals are bronze placements. I also noticed that the majority of the winners were from the western US, and only a brewery or two from Oklahoma also won an award, nothing east of there as far as I can tell. So the festival seems to be pretty localized and I'm not entirely certain how many Colorado breweries entered compared to how many we see on the list below.
