Sound2Summit Brewery Wins Award at World Beer Cup^®

Sound2Summit Brewery from Snohomish, Washington, claimed a silver award in the 2022 World Beer Cup, a global beer competition that evaluates beers from around the world and recognizes the most outstanding brewers and their beers. 

Awards were given in 103 beer-style categories during the World Beer Cup award ceremony on May 5, 2022 at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minnesota.

Sound2Summit Brewery was awarded a silver award in the Pumpkin Beer style category for its Ryes of the Pumpkin King, an oatmeal brown ale that is brewed with pumpkin puree and rye malt and then cold steeped on cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. Smooth and complex, this beer is the perfect way to welcome the Fall season. Sound2Summit Brewery is a 7-bbl brewpub located in Snohomish, WA that specializes in small batch craft beer.

“We are really honored to be recognized by the WBC, and want to give a big shout-out to Adam Frantz our head brewer and mastermind behind the creation of this beer.  This is really a testimony to the craft Adam displays in all the beers he produces for S2S.  We could not be more proud of him and this award.” said Doug Milnor, Managing Director and Co-Owner, Sound2Summit Brewery.

World Beer Cup winners were selected by an international panel of 226 beer judges from 28 countries.  Widely regarded as the “Olympics of Beer,” the 2022 World Beer Cup was the largest competition to date with 10,542 entries from 2,493 breweries in 57 countries.

Presented by the Brewers Association, the World Beer Cup has been held biennially since 1996, to celebrate the art and science of brewing by recognizing outstanding achievement. For additional information, visit the World Beer Cup website.

After the 2022 World Beer Cup at CBC Minneapolis, the competition is moving from biennially to an annual competition to raise the stakes with a more frequent competition to celebrate international brewing excellence.
