Here is the list of decorated San Diego beers that was announced this morning at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF). This year San Diego took away the same number of medals as in 2013, despite the competition being more fierce, with breweries having a limit of 5 submissions, down from 10 last year. California continued to lead the medal count with 46 medals, followed by Colorado, with 39. Note that San Diego is the first city ever to dominate an entire category!
