(Denver, CO) – Just reported on Twitter…Pizza Port wins ALPHA KING again! With poor mans IPA at the Falling Rock! @GABF
That comes from the owner of Rattle N Hum Bar in New York City. I don’t know who normally makes the official report but other Twitterati are verifying it. This is the second year in a row that Pizza Port Poor Man’s Double IPA has won the competition. This is Jeff Bagby’s third championship in the competition overall.
Update: Pizza Port just tweeted it out.
According to HopUnion’s website, “Named in honor of Three Floyd’s Alpha King Pale Ale, the Alpha King Challenge is an annual competition held during the Great American Beer FestivalSM and is open to commercially licensed breweries throughout the United States. Entries are judged on overall quality and balance of flavor, and must have a minimum 60 IBUs (no barley wines allowed).”
