Dripping Springs breweries Twisted X Brewing Company and Acopon Brewing Company combined to earn four medals during the Fredericksburg Craft Beer Festival beer competition.
Twisted X claimed two first-place finishes, winning the Hazy IPA category with McConauhaze and the Kölsch category with Gulf Kölsch.
Acopon Brewing Company also turned in an award-winning performance, earning first place in the British & Irish Beer category with Whitby, a British Golden Ale, and third place in the Czech Lager category with Matagot, a Czech Pale Lager.
The awards were presented during the fifth annual Fredericksburg Craft Beer Festival, which brought more than 30 breweries to Fredericksburg for a weekend celebrating Texas craft beer. Hosted by the Fredericksburg Rotary Club, the festival featured beer tastings, live music and community fundraising activities.
Jester King Brewery, another Dripping Springs-area brewery, was among the breweries pouring samples during the festival, though it did not participate in the competition.
The results highlighted the strength of the Dripping Springs craft beer scene, with local breweries bringing home multiple honors while competing against breweries from across Texas.
