Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery (Farmville, NC) and Foothills Brewing (Winston-Salem, NC) brought home some shiny new medals to hang on the wall at the recent Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado.

Foothills won a Bronze for their Sexual Chocolate Imperial Stout and Duck-Rabbit was skillful enough to capture a Bronze for their Barrel Aged Baltic Porter and the non aged variety placed first in the Baltic-Style Porter category.

Congratulations to these two fine breweries and congrats to all of the other awesome North Carolina breweries that put forth the effort to attend and enter the competition.

And if you would like to see the chaos that is the Great American Beer Festival, they videotaped the whole thing from setup to breakdown and have it available for viewing in this 1 minute video.

Two beers were being served, The Duck-Rabbit Porter and The Duck-Rabbit Amber Ale. Brewer Paul Philippon is planning to follow these with a Brown Ale and a Milk Stout.

Duck-Rabbit got their brewery up and running just last month. Expect to hear more from them in the near future.
