Iron Mash awards are a wrap! Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday, and a huge thanks to all the competitors! The beers were great and the food was amazing! You really raised the bar (yes, that's a cocktail joke) on the food and beer pairing this year.
Congrats to our winners!

The Other Baldwin Brothers in 2nd.

The winner, with 11 votes... the Artisans of the with a Wild Rose Margarita!
People's Choice for Best Food was a tough call to make, but three teams rose to the top:
