Around Town: Canton s Muskellunge Brewing nets medals in contest
Necole Sims
In a year when life s been turned upside down, a downtown Canton establishment has given us a reason to smile.
Muskellunge Brewing Company entered the U.S. Open Beer Championship and came out on top. The competition was in November in Atlanta, Georgia; Oxford, Ohio; and Welland, Ontario, Canada.
Two of its beers won awards. The Sturgeon Russian Imperial Stout received a gold medal in the British Imperial Stout category, and Judy s Buck received a bronze in the Bock category.
Breweries from Luxembourg to Louisiana sent in more than 6,000 beers representing over 140 different styles for judging. According to their website, the competition is the only one to include beers from professional breweries and beers from gold medal winners from the National AHA Homebrew Competition.
