Quotes:
“Golden Lager is a beer that’s been a long time coming for us,” said Four Peaks brewmaster and co-founder Andy
Ingram. “We didn’t want to put this beer out into the world until we felt like we could get it exactly right, and to
have it recognized by the Brewers Association and the World Beer Cup judges among all the great beers entered
validates all the work we put into creating it. I’m so proud of the Four Peaks team.”
