Sip Magazine is excited to announce the medalists of our 13th Annual Best of the Northwest Beer Awards!
An open call for submissions was put out to craft breweries of all sizes across the Pacific Northwest, this year with 570 submissions sent in. A huge thank you to all the judges this year that helped evaluate these beers to find the Best of the Northwest!
The beers were sampled blind to determine the top four medalists (platinum, double gold, gold and silver) and judges’ picks in each respective beverage category. Judges’ picks are awarded in the larger categories recognizing beers that are the next highest ranking beers after the four medalists. The complete beer results, including tasting notes for the platinum winners and full list of medalists including the winners from wine, beer, spirits and cider will be released in an annual Buying Guide print issue out early 2025. You can pre-order that special issue here.
Please note that, with the continued popularity of specialty and small batch beers, some of Sip Magazine’s award winners may no longer be available. Please check with the individual brewery for availability.
