WESTERN IDAHO FAIR

Beer of the Year!

2023 Winner:

Riverbank Blonde Ale

This delicate but nuanced American Blonde Ale is built upon subtle cereal layers and gently hopped with Citra and Galaxy for a clean citrusy finish. This beer is light bodied, crisp, dry, and brilliantly carbonated.

A perfect summer refresher built for your favorite Idaho summer activities – from floating and fishing the Boise River, to ferris wheel rides and fried food at the Fair!

You can purchase at any beer booth on the grounds during the 2023 Fair!

Sockeye Brewing and Western Idaho Fair partnered to award the “Beer of the Year” title from Best in Show recipes during the 2022 annual Western Idaho Fair Homebrew Competition. Sockeye Brewing worked with the winning brewer, AJ Hoberg, to commercially brew his recipe.
