The brewery's Little Wing pilsner was judged to be better than 128 other entries from around the globe.
The World Beer Cup, an annual event dubbed the “Olympics of beer,” is organized by the Brewers Association, a not-for-profit trade association dedicated to small and independent American brewers. This year, over 10,000 beers were entered in 103 categories by more than 2,300 breweries in 51 countries. The 272 judges came from 26 countries.
“I am immensely proud of what our team accomplished in winning gold at the World Beer Cup. In 2020, we won bronze for Little Wing at the Great American Beer Festival, so we knew we had a great beer,” he said. Morrison, brewer and sales manager, said, “Sometimes we are our own worst critics. We are constantly evaluating every beer we make and every process to make it. I’m very proud to be a part of the Horse Thief team and looking forward to our future.”
