BC Beer Awards!
2014 Winners Announced
01/11/2014
2014 British Columbia Beer Awards are in the history books, awarded as always at the annual BC Beer Awards and Festival held last weekend: see the full list of winners in each category.
Great recognition of the hard work done by BC's brewers, with the usual suspects (Central City, Steamworks) joined by some surprise winners among the very newest breweries in BC (Main Street Brewing and Yellow Dog - who stole best of show).
There was also a 'Purl cask' challenge this year laid down by the organizers. What's a 'Purl cask' you ask? So did I. Still don't have it straight, and it appears to be one of those mysteries that not even the Google knows about!
It seemed like the list of categories was shorter this year than last, but taking a closer look at results for both years, it seems there are the number, just that a few are re-named or replaced: 'Light Lager' this yr vs 'Session Lager' last year; 'English Ale' plus 'Scottish / Irish' from last year rolled into 'UK Ale'; 'Hybrids' added this year.
All in all, another great awards show...congrats to all the winners!
