Tony Kiss writes in today’s Citizen-Times about the WNC winners in the second annual Carolinas Championship of Beer held at Hickory Hops last weekend. We’ve been looking online all week, but no word yet on the complete breakdown of awards. We expect (hope?) someone will post on Beerinator soon.

Highland Brewing cleaned up, earning six medals, winning for Gaelic, Oatmeal Porter, St. Teresa’s Pale Ale, Kashmir IPA, Black Mocha Stout and Tasgall Scottish ale. Pisgah Brewing from Black Mountain won for its Pale Ale, Baptista winter brew, Solstice triple ale and porter. Asheville Pizza and Brewing won a medal for Roland’s extra special bitter.

After the initial medals were given, all the gold winners were judged again for best of show honors. Topping the list was the Peg Leg Pale Ale by Ham’s Brewhouse in Greenville, N.C., taking second place was the Jack’d Up Stout from Mash House Brewery in Fayetteville, and Terrapin Brewing of Athens, Ga., finished third with its Rye Pale Ale.
