2021 Brewery of the Year
Wild Leap Craft Beverages has been named Beer Connoisseur magazine’s 2021 Brewery of the Year in the 2021 Official Review.
From Beer Connoisseur & Wild Leap:
Wild Leap submitted an incredible 12 beers in the 2021 Official Review that achieved a rating of World Class or Exceptional. The brewery’s record-breaking three World Class-rated beers in a single year were Lone Buffalo, Alpha Abstraction Vol. 15 and Too Pure To Be Pink. This marks the first time in the twelve-year history of the Official Review that a brewery received three World Class ratings in a calendar year. Wild Leap also submitted an additional nine beers that received scores in the Exceptional range and a whopping 16 beers within the Top 150 Beers of the Year category.
“Wild Leap’s success would not be possible without the boundary-pushing brewing style of Elliott, who is one-half CBO (Chief Brewing Officer) and one-half mad scientist, according to the brewery. That knack for producing terrific and interesting flavors is what helps push Wild Leap into the upper echelon of breweries in the South – and the country at large,” says Beer Connoisseur.
“Achieving the title of Brewery of the Year is a goal we have had since our opening in 2017,” says Anthony Rodriguez, Wild Leap CFO and Co-Founder. The hard work, creativity and behind-the-scenes effort that goes into an operation like ours often goes unnoticed. To be able to share this award with our brew staff, taproom staff, management and fans is a very big honor.”

Congratulations to the entire Wild Leap team!
