Congratulations to everyone
winning awards at the 2007 GABF this weekend. Very happy for
Port Brewing/Lost Abbey & Tomme Arthur, recipient of the Small Brewery/Brewer of the Year Award and whose beer we've been enjoying more and more of here in Pennsylvania over the last year!
The votes were tallied and 140 different breweries/brewpubs won an assortment of awards across 75 categories. In the spirit of analysis (hopefully, not paralysis), here's a little breakdown that I did after combing through the award winners. Further down the page, I focused a bit closer on the awards earned in the group of states stretching from Northern Virginia to New York.
Interesting note: least amount of entries in a category (8; Gluten Free Beer) and most (120; American Style IPA)

Thanks for the breakdown Bryan. Glad to see PA came out with a lot of medals... makes me proud to be a resident!
Amen, to that! Like Jack said over at his site...one of the best beer regions (actually, he said "the best") to live in!
Brian, add one more to that PA winners list
Allentown-Bethlehem Brew Works won a gold in the pro-am competition for their IPA entry
Hi Ed, I noted the BBW Pro-Am win in an earlier post but was torn over including it in a state-by-state wrap-up of actual style wins, since it's not really a style, per se. But, you're absolutely right that if you include the Pro-Am Gold, then PA walks away with 12 medals, putting them firmly in 5th place among states. (CA, CO, IL, WI ahead of them)
GABF seems sooo big that I can't really get a sense of it. Even with your posts it isn't sinking in. Hmmm...I'll have to go one of these years.
