Announcing the 2017 Oregon Beer Awards Medalists

These are the best beers in Oregon from the 2016 season, as selected by more than 85 judges in January 2017 and announced during the Oregon Beer Awards ceremony at Revolution Hall, Tuesday, February 28. A Voting Academy of more than 200 industry allies voted for the additional categories include breweries, bars and festivals.

The night is available on video by Stumptown Bliss here. Photos by Thomas Teal coming soon.

Correction: A previous version of this article listed Solera as the Brewery winning silver for Fresh Hop with D'Bomb. Sunriver Brewing Co. makes this beer. The article has been updated and WW regrets the error.
