Revolution and Two Brothers breweries each won two medals at the Great American Beer Festival Saturday, leading the way among six Chicago-area breweries that scored awards.

While no Chicago breweries dominated from the more than 4,300 entries in 84 categories from 666 breweries, it could be considered an admirably broad showing for the city.

Chicago-area winners included:

Gold medals: Goose Island (India Pale Ale, English-style India pale ale category, 54 entries) and Revolution Brewing (Cross of Gold, English-style summer ale, 38 entries).

Silver medals: Piece Brewery (The Weight, American-style pale ale, 109 entries) and Two Brothers (Ebel's Weiss, south German-style hefeweizen, 70 entries).

Bronze: 5 Rabbit (5 Lizard, fruit wheat beer, 38 entries), Revolution Brewing (A Little Crazy, American-Belgo style ale, 71 entries), Three Floyds (Zombie Dust, American-style pale ale, 109 entries) and Two Brothers (Domaine DuPage, Belgian and French-style ale, 68 entries).

Other Illinois winners included Brickstone Brewery in Bourbonnais (gold medal in American-style pale ales for its Brickstone APA) and Desthil, which has brew pubs in Normal and Champaign (bronze in the fruit beer category for its Strawberry Blonde Ale).

Perhaps you noticed, but if not: All three medals in the American-style pale ale category came from relatively near Chicago.
