Fort Worth brewers bring home the hardware

This shocked the hell out of me—I thought the Covey Restaurant and Brewery was just home to a really pricey menu. Turns out they are also home to one highly regarded Vienna-style lager.

The Covey’s Vienna Lager beat 24 other entries to win the gold medal at the Brewers Association World Beer Cup in San Diego last week. Rahr Brewing won a bronze medal for its Bucking Bock in the German-Style Heller Bock/Maibock category which featured 31 entries overall.

Although the idea of a Beer Olympics sounds made up, it’s true. The Brewers’ Association created the World Beer Cup in 1996 to celebrate the art and science of brewing by recognizing outstanding achievement. It’s a rough job, but someone has to do it.

Congratulations to the winners!

UPDATE: Barry Schlachter had more on the Covey this morning.

Akira Sato Jazz trumpeter Akira Sato, by way of Tokyo, Japan and Vancouver, Canada, is an SMU faculty member and director of The Meadow Jazz Orchestra at SMU. He is also an adjunct faculty member at UNT where he teaches jazz arranging. Sato is also heading into the studio soon with other area musicians and playing at the Scat Jazz Lounge tonight. With all that he's up to, the least you could do is order a Scotch on the rocks and chill to some tunes. (Photo by flickr user arteunporro. More info
