Lumberyard, Four Peaks win medals at World Beer Cup

Congrats to Flagstaff’s Lumberyard Brewing and Tempe’s Four Peaks Brewing, which won medals Friday night at the World Beer Cup in Denver.

Lumberyard was a double medalist. Its Lumberyard Red won the silver in the Ordinary or Special Bitter category, and its Knotty Pine Pale Ale took silver in American-Style Pale Ale.

Four Peaks’s flagship Kilt Lifter won the bronze in the Scottish-Style Ale category.
