"As a four-time gold medal winner, Penn Gold has definitely earned its name." Pastorius attributed the streak of medal wins to the brewery's adherence to traditional methods. 'Beer is more than a business to me," he said, "It's my passion. All our beers are brewed in accordance with the Reinheitsegebot. We use only tow-row barley and imported Hallertau hops, with no adjuncts and no chemical additives or preservatives. None of our beer is produced using high-gravity methods, and all our beers are carbonated naturally."
