"A rich and malty beer in the California Common style. They use the best Rahr 2-Row malt and Munich malt for a great malt back bone and finish it off with a nice hopping of Willamette hops."

San Antonio also had Gold Medal for Longtab Brewing that picked up their award for their American-Belgo-style Ale called DOL.
