~Viva Blatz~

I was looking at the winners from this years Great American Beer Festival in Denver, and ran across the following category. I was happy to see one of my personal midwest favorites, BLATZ, getting the props it deserves. There are some that claim that consuming enough BLATZ can give you a case of the SCHILTZ, but in my experience, this is simply "Green Bottle Prejudice" or some other misguided beer folly. It was good to see our old boy Oly on top as well.
