Colorado Killed it at the World Beer Cup Competition AKA The Beer Olympics

If there's one thing Colorado is known for, it's craft beer. Everyone knows someone who makes their own beer in their garage. Most of those beers are garbage and taste like socks, but there are some Coloradoans who actually can make delicious beer. Award winning beer, even.

This year, the World Beer Cup received entries from all around the world and awarded medals in 113 beer style categories. Out of 113 awards, Colorado craft brewers took home 23 of them. 19 brewers painstakingly crafted different types of brews, varying in color, hops, and even alcohol content. This isn't your everyday Natty Lite.

Here is the Colorado brewery that brought home the gold

• Cannonball Creek Brewing Co: Project Alpha 81. This beer is described as a "West Coast-Style India Pale Ale".

Here are just some of the Colorado breweries that brought home the silver

• Cannonball Creek Brewing Co: Mindbender beer is described as an "American-Style Strong Pale Ale".
• Crystal Springs Brewing Co: Mosaic Madness beer is described as a "West Coast-Style India Pale Ale".

Keep in mind, this is no easy competition to win. There are 255 beer judges across 38 countries. Well done to all the Colorado winners.
