We Win Awards.
We win Best In Show in pretty much every brewfest we enter — literally. There are so many “awards” out there these days. Melvin just enters the important ones with the most competitors in them so that we can boost our frail egos if we ever win.
We also like to place bets with the other breweries. We could almost build a second brewery from all the bets we’ve won. Ok, maybe only a 10-gallon brewery…

In 2013, Melvin was not allowed to enter GABF, and * Double IPA was born.
“One year, at this great beer fest in America, we got a gold medal for 2x4. The next year, they did not let us enter the contest. So we decided to make a new beer from the future. This year’s winner will forever put an asterisk next to their gold medal.”
