REDDING, CA, UNITED STATES, July 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Fall River Brewing Company announced that Off Leash West Coast IPA earned a gold medal in the West Coast IPA category at the 2026 North American Brewers Association (NABA) International Beer and Cider Awards.
The 2026 competition included more than 1,300 entries from 36 states. Off Leash received gold in one of craft beer’s most recognized and competitive styles.
“The West Coast IPA style is an important and well-known part of our Fall River Brewing story, and earning the gold medal for Off Leash is an incredible honor for our team,” said John and Amanda Hutchings, co-owners of Fall River Brewing Company. “We’re grateful to see Off Leash recognized at this competition.”
Off Leash West Coast IPA is available at Fall River Brewing Company locations and through select retail and distribution partners.
Fall River Brewing Company also earned a bronze medal for Half Cocked Hard Root Beer in the Hard Soft Drinks (Sodas) category. The medal adds national recognition for Half Cocked, Fall River’s lineup of hard sodas and ready-to-drink cocktails.
“Bringing home two medals is a proud moment for our entire team,” say the Hutchings. “Off Leash and Half Cocked Hard Root Beer are very different beverages, but both reflect the quality and innovation our team works so hard to deliver.”
