FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
River Delta Czech Pils is recognized as one of the best brews in the nation at the nation’s largest professional beer competition
Brunswick, GA • October 15, 2024 — Silver Bluff Brewing Company earned a Silver medal at the 2024 Great American Beer Festival (GABF®) competition, hosted and presented by the Brewers Association.
In the 2024 competition, beers and ciders spanning 107 categories and 175 different styles (including all subcategories) were judged meticulously by 285 judges over 7 days. Awards presented during the Great American Beer Festival competition are considered coveted symbols of brewing excellence globally, and brews that receive an award are considered the most excellent representation of their style category. For the first time, five cider categories were added to the competition; expanding the pool of world-class brews to be judged, awarded accolades, and recognized for their excellence.
Silver Bluff Brewing Company was recognized in the Bohemian-Style Pilsener category for its River Delta Czech Pils, an authentic Czech-style pilsner that embodies traditional brewing techniques. With a crisp malt backbone and a delicate balance of hops, it’s a testament to our dedication to crafting exceptional beers.
“This is a remarkable achievement for Silver Bluff. We’re proud to be among the Georgia breweries that collectively took home eight medals at this year’s GABF, highlighting the vibrant and diverse brewing landscape in our state,” says Jeff Coyle, co-founder of Silver Bluff Brewing Co. “This is also a testament to our team’s dedication and passion for brewing, and we look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional beers to our customers.”
Thanks to a panel of 285 professional judges from around the world and over 250 volunteers, the Great American Beer Festival competition analyzed 9,216 entries over two phases and 7 days. The 2024 competition saw entries from 1869 breweries and cideries from all 50 states plus Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
“The Great American Beer Festival competition recognizes greatness in innovation and craftsmanship from brewers all over the country, and the Brewers Association takes great pride in crowning one winner from each category as ‘Best in Class,’” remarked Chris Williams, competition director for the Brewers Association. “This year’s competition was especially notable with the introduction of five new cider categories. This expansion not only increased the competition’s scope but also highlights producers’ relentless pursuit of creativity and excellence. The Brewers Association is proud to celebrate the accomplishments of this year’s winners.”
