For the second year in a row, Blue Moon Brewing Company's Honey Moon Summer Ale took home the Gold Medal in the Specialty Honey Lager/Ale category.

More than 100 judges evaluated more than 2,700 beers for three days, giving out a total of 222 medals. Honey Moon was first introduced at the 2006 GABF and is one of four Blue Moon seasonal brews, in addition to the original Blue Moon Belgian White. Honey Moon is a honey ale that is brewed with Mountain Gold Clover Honey and orange peel. The award-winning honey used in the recipe is also made in Colorado.

"We're proud that Blue Moon beers continue to shine at the GABF and our seasonal selections are gaining similar acclaim to that of our original recipe," said Keith Villa, Blue Moon master brewer. "As specialty beers continue to grow and beer drinkers have more choices, we're thrilled that they continue to rate our beers among the best."

Blue Moon Brewing Company was a sponsor of the Great American Beer Festival, the nation's premier celebration of American breweries.
