Clipper City Brewing Co. in Baltimore is gaining a reputation for its higher-alcohol experimental beers (like the bourbon barrel-aged pumpkin ale I wrote about last week), but two lighter, everyday drinking beers took bronze medals: the delicately malty Heavy Seas Marzen in the Vienna-style Lager category, and the citrusy Heavy Seas Golden Ale in the Golden or Blond Ale slot.

Fritz Hahn: Looking at the beer lineup, I'd say Flying Dog Dogtoberfest, Heavy Seas Marzen, Erdinger Oktoberfest, Wurzburger Oktoberfest, Evolution Jacques au Lantern (which the list has as 'Jack O Lantern' for all you non-Francophones who can't figure it out) and Schlenkerla Marzen.

Also, the MillerCoors-owned brewpub at Coors Field, The Sandlot, brought home medals (home from Denver to Denver, that is) for its "American-Style or International-Style Pilsener," its "Vienna-Style Lager," and its "German-Style Marzen."

Style guidelines peg the Vienna as marginally less alcoholic and full-bodied than the Marzen, but both are clean, malty amber-colored lagers.

Dogtoberfest from Flying Dog Brewery won Gold in the German-Style Marzen category - this was one of the Oktobers that I had wanted to include in our Oktoberfest tasting, but didn't happen.
