Dayton Beer wins Commonwealth Cup

Dayton Beer Co. on Saturday won the Commonwealth Cup -- the top prize at the Alltech Craft Brews & Food Fest -- for its Batch 100 golden strong ale.

The second annual event, held in Lexington, Ky., featured 350 beers from 20 countries. The Lexington Herald-Leader reported that Dayton Beer, which recently opened a second production brewery and tasting room in downtown Dayton, won five medals for its beers but didn't name them.

The festival organizers have not yet posted a full rundown of the winners online. But they did note on Facebook that owner Pete Hilgeman got married on Saturday -- a double win for him.
