Auburn's Prison City Brewing led the local winners with three medals: gold in cream ales for its Cream Ale, silver in barrel-aged (sour) for Something Something Something, and gold in fruit and vegetable beers (non-sour) for Crispy Boys Blood Orange. Something Something Something won gold in the same category last year, one of 18 medals Prison City has won at the competition since 2017.

Joining the Auburn brewery on the podium for fruit and vegetable beers (non-sour) was Weedsport's Lunkenheimer Craft Brewing Co., which won the silver for its Blackberry Kolsch. Lunkenheimer also collaborated with Sager Beer Works on another medal winner, Prince Sager-Heimer, which won bronze in amber and red ales.

Lunkenheimer has now won 17 medals at the competition, making it and Prison City two of the winningest breweries in the state. 

Other winners from Cayuga County on Friday were Aurora Brewing Co. in Ledyard, which won a silver medal in barrel-aged (non-sour) for its Oak-Aged Aeon, and Shep's Brewing Co. in Auburn, which won a bronze medal in wheat beers (American, wit, hefe) for its Lit Wit. 

The top awards of the competition went to two downstate breweries. Brooklyn's Grimm Artisanal Ales was named the best brewery in New York for the third time in the last four years, and Ulster County's Kingston Standard Brewing won the Governor's Cup for the best beer in the state for Love is Overtaking Me, a barrel-fermented wild ale.

A record-setting 1,421 beers from 232 state breweries were submitted for the competition, and judged March 2 and March 3 in Rochester.

The competition is organized by the New York State Brewers Association and the Raise a Glass Foundation. The Albany awards presentation is the closing event of the annual state Craft Brewers Conference. Proceeds from the competition support InterVol, a Rochester nonprofit that donates unused medical supplies to causes in need around the world.
