PETER B’S BREWPUB RECEIVES GOLD MEDAL FROM THE 2018 LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL BEER COMPETITION | |||||||||||
Monterey, CA – May 14, 2018 – Peter B’s Brewpub, located behind the Portola Hotel & Spa in Monterey, CA, has been awarded a Gold Medal by the Los Angeles International Beer Competition. Award-winning brewer, Justin Rivard’s Great White Buffalo was recognized as the best American-Belgo-Style Ale amongst competitors.
“I set out to brew a Belgian Pale because it’s a challenging style that requires perfect balance, and the yeast and hops can easily be at odds. It was a team effort, and we are all really excited about this prestigious award and the recognition of Peter B’s in the industry. This is the second year we’ve brewed this Belgian, and I think it’s the best batch yet” said Rivard. The 2018 competition season begins with an impressive showing by members of the Los Angeles County Brewers Guild at this year’s Los Angeles International Beer Competition held at the Los Angeles County Fair. The annual competition, which draws both local and international brewery contestants yielded a total of 43 honors for LABG brewers spread among 22 individual Guild breweries. |

A Michigan native and avid homebrewer, Justin Rivard is following his dream developing and creating original craft beer with his own special twists and turns. A Psychology major with a concentration in Neuroscience from Albion College in Michigan, Justin could not shake his desire to “brew up something wild.” After graduating from college and spending a summer working in a brewery, Justin decided to heed his true calling - brewing craft beer. At Peter B’s, Justin strives for crafting a variety of ales, by brewing balanced, yet exotic beers, all while maintaining the existing flagship styles that Peter B’s is known for brewing. Justin holds great respect for traditional German ales while embracing a passion for Saisons, IPA’s and sour varieties. Justin and his team’s hard work earned the brewery a silver medal at the Great American Beer Festival in 2016, and Justin plans to add to that list of awards this year. |
