Jeff Bagby and the Pizza Port Carlsbad Brew Crew walk to the stage to accept the Large Brewpub of the Year award<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

San Diegan brewers exceeded expectations and previous performances by hauling in 20 medals at the Great American Beer Festival, as well as the awards for Small and Large Brewpubs of the Year. While medals went to many local brewers, the lion’s share went to the Pizza Port empire. Every Pizza Port location won something, but Carlsbad and Ocean Beach stood apart. Medals also went to AleSmith, Karl Strauss, Port Brewing, The Lost Abbey, and both San Diego Rock Bottom locations; San Diego Brewers Guild President Marty Mendiola won Gold for his Moonlight Porter at Rock Bottom La Jolla.<\/p>\n

San Diegans won 3 more awards in 2011 than 2010. Pizza Port Carlsbad has now won the Large Brewpub of the Year award three years in a row (2009, 2010, 2011).<\/p>\n
