Our breezy Bel Air Sour blew away the field at this year’s NYS Craft Beer Competition, earning a gold medal in Category 9: Kettle and Simple Sours. We’re exceptionally proud of Brewmaster Garrett Oliver and our brewing team for the accomplishment, and for bringing us Bel Air Sour in cans and bottles for us to stock up on and properly ring in the victory.

You’re invited to the celebration too, of course. Just use our Beer Finder to track it down near you or grab it from a delivery app like Drizly, Minibar, or TapRm.
