Sun King Brewerey's Wee Mac Scottish Ale

Sun King Brewerey's Wee Mac Scottish Ale

You look like you could use a cold one. Why not let Downtown Indianapolis lend a helping hand?

This past week Indiana Brewers were the biggest winners (11 medals) at the 30th Annual Great American Beer Festival Championship. The GABF is the largest commercial beer competition in the world! Indiana had the highest winning percentage of any state, earning medals for nearly one of every five entries by Hoosier brewers (19.2%). Totally bragworthy, right?

Sun King Brewery won the highest medal count of any single brewery taking home eight medals. To top off the Indiana pride in this story, two of Sun King’s medal-winning beers involved collaborations with other Hoosier businesses: Popcorn Pilsner infused with Indiana-grown Riehle popcorn and Java Mac is infused with coffee roasted by local coffee shop BJava. Rock Bottom Brewery raked in 6 medals (one of the top five winning entrants).
