    @JFrankParnell in this thread has put together a spreadsheet of all GABF and WBC contest winners.

    Geek that I am, I've been fooling around with it. The top three MN brewers in total awards are:
    1. Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery (14 medal winners, 3 gold, 7 silver, 4 bronze)
    2. Summit Brewing Company (13 medals, 2 gold, 5 silver, 6 bronze)
    3. August Schell Brewing Company (11 medals, 3 gold, 4 silver, 4 bronze)
    Notable newer brewers include
    1. Surly Brewing Company (3 medals, 1 gold; 2 bronze)
    2. Steel Toe Brewing (2 medals, 2 gold, 1 beer :wink: - Wee Heavy)
    3. Badger Hill Brewing (1 medal, gold)
    4. Indeed Brewing Company (1 medal, silver)
    5. Bent Paddle Brewing Company (1 medal, bronze)
    The single beer with the most medals is Summit Extra Pale Ale (7 medals: 1 gold, 3 silver, and 3 bronze).
    Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery's most honored beer is Hope and King Scotch Ale (3 medals, 1 of each level).
    Schell's most honored beers are Pilsner (3 medals, 1 of each level) and Oktoberfest (3 medals, 2 silver and a bronze).

    For you IPA lovers, none of our locals medaled in either the "American-Style IPA" or the "Imperial or Double IPA" categories, although Badger Hill medaled with their White IPA in the "American-Belgo-Style Ale" category, Summit medaled with their True Brit IPA in the "Extra Special Bitter or Strong Bitter" category, and Town Hall medaled with 1800 in the "English-Style IPA" category.
