GABF 2026

We’re honored to bring home three medals from this year’s Great American Beer Festival, and even more grateful to have been in the company of so many incredible breweries.

This year’s wins recognize DBA, Flanders, and Krieky Koelschip, each representing the care, craftsmanship, and dedication our team brings to every brew. As we celebrate 30 years of Firestone Walker, these medals are a meaningful reminder of the people, passion, and hard work that shape our story. We’re proud of everyone who has played a part in bringing these beers to life and grateful to see their work recognized alongside some of the best in beer.

The Great American Beer Festival is about more than the medals. It’s a chance to connect with fellow breweries, cheer on our friends during the awards ceremony, meet some folks who enjoy our beer, and share some special pours along the way. From live music to the many small moments that make the weekend memorable, it’s the people and shared passion for great beer that make this community so special.

We’re thankful to everyone who has played a part in bringing these three beers to life, as well as everyone who stopped by to spend part of the weekend with us. Thirty years in, we’re proud of where we’ve been, grateful for the people who’ve been part of the journey, and excited for what’s still ahead.

Thanks to everyone who made this year’s festival one to remember and for being part of our story. Weekends like these remind us of what our community is all about, and we’re thankful to everyone who stopped by to share memories, stories, and a few special pours along the way.
