Revelation Craft Brewing’s Razz Sour brings home the gold

Revelation Craft Brewing Company won a gold medal at the 2022 Great American Beer Festival competition, presented by the Brewers Association. It’s the nation’s largest commercial beer competition, giving accolades to the most outstanding beers produced in the United States.

Revelation was recognized in the Fruited Sour beer-style category for its Razz Sour, a naturally tart, top-fermented beer conditioned on a crazy amount of fresh raspberries. Revelation has been brewing in Rehoboth Beach since 2016 and is now brewing at its Georgetown location, which will be open to the public in 2023.

“I am so proud of the entire Rev team, especially our brewers who put so much extra care into sourcing the best ingredients and working to perfect our process with every single brew. With Georgetown getting into full swing, we couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come,” said Patrick Staggs, Revelation president and co-owner.

The top three winners in the competition’s 98 beer categories covering 177 different beer styles were announced Oct. 8 at the Great American Beer Festival awards ceremony held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.

The 2022 winners were selected by an international panel of 235 expert judges from among 9,904 entries, plus 94 collaboration and 35 pro-am entries, received from 2,154 U.S. breweries.

“Each year, the Great American Beer Festival showcases the best that American brewers have to offer,” said Chris Williams, Great American Beer Festival competition director. “With more than 9,900 entries, this year’s competition was the most competitive to date. Congratulations to all the winners who truly demonstrated why the U.S. is the best brewing nation in the world.”
