PORTLAND, MAINE (April 16, 2008) – Sea Dog and Shipyard Brewing Companies each took home a medal at the 2008 Australian International Beer Awards (AIBA) in Melbourne, Australia. AIBA is the showcase awards event in the Asia Pacific Region and 1,084 entries were received from 42 countries.
Shipyard Brewing Company’s Chamberlain Pale Ale won a Silver award in Class 3 – Ale Packaged - British Style Pale Ale. No Gold was given in this category. Last year, Chamberlain took home a Bronze medal in this same category.
Sea Dog Brewing Company’s Sea Dog Bluepaw Wild Blueberry Wheat Ale was awarded a Bronze in Class 17 – Fruit Beer Packaged. No Silver or Gold was given in this category. Bluepaw received this same award in last year’s competition.

Hmph, after checking out this “competition”, i am reminded once again of how little regard i have for Shipyard. Check out this list of “awards” from the official site:
http://www.beerawards.com/pdfs/2008_final_beer_catalogue.pdf
looks to me like every beer entered earned at least a bronze medal. and medals were awarded to all beers. For example, 4 beers were in the same category as the blue paw. all 4 got bronze medals. this is a sham of a “competition” that just allows companies to creat press releases that are, at best, misleading.
