Perhaps our biggest Good Food Awards wins ever...for two very different lagers.
At Fullsteam, we've spent 15+ years advocating that truly local craft beer should be grounded in local agriculture. This year, we're honored to have two locally sourced lagers recognized as Good Food Award Winners:
𝐏𝐀𝐘𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐂𝐊 𝐏𝐈𝐋𝐒𝐍𝐄𝐑
𝐶𝑟𝑎𝑓𝑡 𝑀𝑎𝑙𝑡 𝐶𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑒𝑑®
Brewed with Pilsner malt from Epiphany Craft Malt and Cumberland corn malted by Riverbend Malt House, Paycheck Pilsner stands alongside GFA-winning lagers brewed with Maine-grown and Colorado-grown grain. This award belongs to the entire Southern supply chain that makes Paycheck possible...from Plow to Pint.
𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐓: 𝐎𝐊𝐓𝐎𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓
Certified Regenified® · 100% NC Malt
With this win, Reset: Oktoberfest becomes first Certified Regenified® beer to receive national medal recognition. Brewed with Riverbend Malt House certified Regenified malt, this win goes beyond celebrating local grain. It demonstrates that local, regenerative agriculture can produce exceptional beer.
This year's batch of Reset: Oktoberfest has been lagering at our brewery in Rocky Mount since April. We plan to debut it at Fullsteam ATC when we open in the fall.

We at Fullsteam speak of quiet confidence, but sometimes it's important to celebrate. Today, we do so with Allagash Brewing Company, Cerebral Brewing, and our Southern farm and malt partners.
Long live the Southern Beer Economy.
