Bistro Double IPA Winners 2023

February 11, 2023 By Jay Brooks

Earlier today, the 23rd annual Double IPA Festival was held at the Bistro in Hayward, California, and after a virtual fest two years, and a modified outdoor festival last year, this year it was back to a much more typical festival, complete with people and sunshine off and on. I got there early for judging again this year, and we were back in the basement again — which was oddly comforting. We judged 87 Double IPAs for most of the morning and part of the afternoon, before choosing our favorites

Beginning the judging process.

After emerging from the darkness into the light, it was nice to see the shining, at least from time to time.

Beautiful downtown Hayward.

At 2:00 p.m., Vic and Cynthia gathered everybody together to announce this year’s winners.

Double IPAs

  • 1st Place: Alvarado Street Double Cone
  • 2nd Place: Floodcraft Freshly Rubbed
  • 3rd Place: Beachwood Green Shift

People’s Choice Awards

  • Double IPA: Ghostown / Slice collaboration: Lurid Lupulin

It was also great running into loads of old friends.
