World Beer Cup 2008 Winners Announced

The winners have been announced for the World Beer Cup 2008, which happened this past week.

Here is a document which gives some news highlights. It says that Illinois ranked fourth among U.S. States for total awards won, behind perennial leaders California, Colorado, and Oregon.

Here is the full list of all the winners of the World Beer Cup 2008. This year, 644 breweries from 58 countries and 45 U.S. states vied for awards with 2,864 beers entered in 91 beer style categories. I haven't had most of these beers, which is good. This means that there are many great beers for me to possibly try for many years to come.
The beers on the list that I have had and agree that they are good are:
(To save time, I will just list the name of the brewer and beer and the category #, and you can look them up if you want to.) I've "starred" the beers that I especially like.
