It's weird that the Chicago version of Rock Bottom continues to win medals for their pedestrian brews. Don't get me wrong -- I like some of the Rock Bottom offerings throughout the year, but their regular beers are really plain. How they could win a gold medal with them is beyond me.

I just noticed that it was the Chicago location that won. I thought all the RB locations had the same beers, I must have been mistaken.

Ummm, Rock Bottom is hardly local. More like national: http://www.rockbottom.com/RockBottomWeb/RBR/index.aspx?PageName=/RockBottomWeb/RBR/LocationFinder.ascx&SectionName=Root.LocationFinder&SiteID=10000

Shouldn't the headline read, "Rock Bottom-Chicago Wins Gold at World Beer Cup"? We here in Chicago have a local brewer that wins a Gold Medal at the prestigious bi-annual World Beer Cup and it is not mentioned until the 2nd paragraph. As I get off my soap box, congratulations to all!

Dude! Maybe I'm confused, but isn't it Polson, MT?
