The 6th Annual Foam Fest, sponsored by the Colorado Institute of Brewing and the Colorado State Fair, judged a vast array of foamy libations from microbreweries in Colorado and around the nation. The judging occurred on Saturday morning, August 29th, and the awards ceremony was held during the Foam Fest tasting session later that day. 29 styles were judged, including two new categories encapsulating Non-Alcoholic brews. A list of all the Colorado winners can be seen below. Congratulations to all those who found success at the heed of seasoned palates!
