"I actually have a page of notes that I took at this particular craft brewers conference to change the recipe before I won the medal," Buenning said. "So I'll be tearing that page up and throwing it out. I think I'm just going to leave it be."
Gravely Brewing won second place out of 176 entries in the German Pilsner category. That number included many German breweries.
