Press Release

Sip Magazine announced the 11th annual Best of the Northwest Beer Awards in October and Payette Brewing Company, in Boise, Idaho, is proud to have won many. The awards include:

  • North Fork Lager: Awarded Double Gold in the Lager category. 

  • Urban Surfer Citrus Wheat: Tied for Gold in the Session Ale category.

  • Recoil India-Pale Ale: Awarded Silver in the American-Style India Pale Ale category. 

  • Sofa King Sunny: Won Judges’ Pick in the Hazy or Juicy Pale Ale category. 

Sip Magazine focuses on the Northwest beverage scene and highlights different products or businesses in each issue. They provide quality resources to the beverage industry. The Best of the Northwest beer competition brings hundreds of brews together in order to highlight and showcase the efforts and people behind those beers.

Submissions are sampled blind and judged by beverage industry experts, cicerones, beverage directors/buyers, beer writers, producers and bottle shop owners. Judges then determine the top four medals, as well as Judges’ Picks in each beverage category. 

As it is an open call across the Pacific Northwest, there were over an astounding 500 beer submissions, taking the competition up a notch. Results include tasting notes for platinum winners, a full list of Judges’ Picks, and winners are announced in the annual Collector’s Print Issue released in early 2023. The Collectors Print Issue showcases the winners of the competition, including wine, beer, spirits, cider, local restaurants, beverage trends, drink destinations and so on. It is an honor for Payette Brewing Company to once again be featured in the Issue. 

Sip Magazine is an award-winning magazine published in the Pacific Northwest. Focusing on the many delightful wines, hand-crafted brews, spirits, roasted coffees, ciders and other products created in the region, along with in-depth profiles of the fascinating people who make them, is creating a buzz in the industry.
