Behind the blue crabs and the beautiful Chesapeake Bay that defines the state of Maryland is an unsung whiskey-making history, and Sagamore Spirit has sailed in to sing it, or better yet, pour it in a glass.

It probably doesn’t shock you to hear that thick glass bottles have heavy environmental footprints. What might be more surprising is how much of a problem glass presents for wine, an industry deeply connected to the climate. I’ve seen estimates that glass is responsible for anywhere from 29% to 50% of wine’s carbon impact. As a result, ecologically minded producers are experimenting with new ways to package wines.

Rarely does someone’s love affair with beer begin with brews that are considered top-shelf. First beers are often old standbys that took up space in the family fridge and vacation cooler year after year. And sometimes, that affordable 6-pack is exactly what is needed for a backyard barbecue or tailgate. These cheaper beers don’t just carry a lighter price tag — they carry nostalgia and memories, and some of them are also just pretty damn good.

By my count, California took home 71 medals, Colorado brewers earned 41 and Oregon brewers brought home 38. That’s not even including the Brewery of the Year awards, three of which went to Oregon breweries - plus an Oregon producer won the first “best cidermaker” award as well.
