16 GABF Winners

Tickets to this year’s Great American Beer Festival sold out in 20 minutes. This isn’t shocking when you consider that over 600 of the best breweries in the U.S. were in attendance and that beer is delicious. The highlight of the event every year is the awards ceremony where breweries can snatch Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals in a plethora of categories. Some of the winning brews aren’t exactly easy to get your hands on, but a few end up being some you can snag at your local liquor store either year-round or during their seasonal release. Here are some of this year’s gold medal winners that you can go out and enjoy.

G5-Cool-Material

Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
