Loowit Brewing Company takes home World Beer Cup award

Vancouver’s Loowit Brewing Company claimed a silver award in the 2016 World Beer Cup, a global beer competition that evaluates beers from around the world and recognizes the most outstanding brewers and their beers.

The local brewery was awarded in the rye beer style category for its Grimlock Rye Porter, an American Porter featuring dark malts that provide flavors of chocolate, toffee, coffee and toast.

“We are so very proud and excited to bring this award home to our fans in Vancouver, Washington,” said Devon Bray, co-owner of Loowit. “Recognition for excellence at such a prestigious event like the World Beer Cup is great for drawing attention to the burgeoning beer scene that has rooted and is growing in Southwest Washington. It’s not every day a small brewery gets acknowledged on the world stage in such a highly competitive competition.”

World Beer Cup winners were selected by an international panel of 253 beer judges from 31 countries. The competition saw an impressive field of 6,596 entries from 1,907 breweries in 55 countries.
