I believe that the gold medal was for the Grog, which is a Dark Mild.  
(Dark Mild is a dark beer style that's remarkably pleasant and
light bodied.  It's a lot less heavy than a stout, and comparable
to a porter but milder still.  Very drinkable.)

I haven't tasted this particular concoction yet, but I have a
sneaking suspicion that it's out of their (former?) head brewer's
recipe book -- the same brewer who is responsible for Yard's
wonderful Dark Mild of years-gone-by.

Enjoy!

PS: I forget what the other medal was for, but it was probably a belgian
    style.
