A New Orleans-based brewery wins gold medal for
exceptional beer? We'll drink to that!
The 2021 U.S. Open Beer Championship awarded Faubourg Brewing Co.
a gold medal for their exceptional craft beer. On September 6, gold, silver,
and bronze medals were awarded at the U.S. Open Event Center in Oxford, Ohio.
Hundreds of breweries nationwide brought their 'A' game for a panel of judges
as more than 8,000 beers were blind taste-tested.
Faubourg was the only New Orleans-based brewery to win
a gold medal in the competition.
In the competitive Belgian/Witbier category, Faubourg
Brewing Co.'s Golden
Cypress Wheat Ale was awarded the top prize of Gold Medal.
According to Faubourg's website, "Golden Cypress is a crisp, refreshing
Belgian-style wheat ale named for its beautiful golden color. Crafted from
lightly kilned pilsner malt combined with soft white wheat and a touch of
malted oats, it's a smooth and incredibly balanced brew that shows zesty, sweet
aromas, and hints of spicy coriander. Enjoy it anytime—especially at the golden
hour of sunset."
"We're incredibly proud to bring home the gold for
exceptional craft brewing to New Orleans," Jason Daniel, vice president of marketing
at Faubourg Brewing Co., said. "The re-branding of our historic brewery to
Faubourg backed by a state-of-the-art new brewery in New Orleans East and truly
talented brewing teams have set the foundations for Faubourg to be able to
create top quality, award-winning brews for craft lovers to enjoy across New
Orleans and the region."
