Atlas Brew Works Claims Bronze Medal for Silent Neighbor at the Great American Beer Festival

Celebrate Atlas core beer’s second accolade of 2023 at anniversary party this weekend

Washington, DC—Atlas Brew Works is ecstatic to announce its Silent Neighbor won the bronze medal in the Stout category at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) competition on Saturday, September 23. Presented by the Brewers Association, GABF is the nation’s largest commercial beer competition and recognizes the most outstanding beers produced in the United States. This is the second accolade in 2023 for Silent Neighbor, which also took home gold at the World Beer Cup in May.

With a 6.7% ABV, Silent Neighbor is made with generous portions of rye and blackstrap molasses, and opens with notes of rye, chocolate, and roasted barley blended with rich molasses and subtle fruity bitterness. Named as a homage to the historic Mount Olivet Cemetery, across from Atlas’ flagship Ivy City location, the award-winning stout is the perfect haunt for any season. Fans of the beer are invited to come out and celebrate at the brewery’s 10th anniversary party this Saturday, September 30, from 12pm to 5pm. More information and tickets can be found here.

The 2023 GABF competition winners were selected by an international panel of 250 expert judges from 9,298 entries, plus 95 Collaboration and 50 Pro-Am entries, received from 2,033 U.S. breweries. Atlas’ Bullpen Pilsner won bronze in the American Pilsener category at the 2022 GABF. See the full list of 2023 GABF winners at greatamericanbeerfestival.com/the-competition/2023-winners/.
