Several Oklahoma beer brewers are in Denver this week for the Great American Beer Festival.

We just learned that Choc Beer company of Krebs won the silver medal Saturday at the national competition for its Signature Gratzer in the Indigenous Beer category.

Congrats to Choc!

Earlier this week, we talked to a representative from Tulsa’s Marshall Brewing Company before the group left for the festival and asked him to send some photos our way from the big beer event.

Here’s some that we received from Wes Alexander, the director and marketing and sales for Marshall.

This event is a big deal in the craft beer world and it keeps getting bigger.

This year there are more than 2,700 beers in the festival hall — the biggest selection of American beers ever served. And the breweries account for more than 36,500 gallons of beer.

GABF will have 110 more breweries pouring their beers in the hall this
year, which is a 23 percent increase over 2011.

The festival sold out in 45 minutes during the public ticket sale.

Alexander said that representatives from Marshall like attending the event to meet other brewers, tour area breweries and research new equipment that is available.
