The 2018 Canadian Brewing Awards happened this weekend in Halifax, and this year was a year for first time breweries to shine.
More than any other previous year, new breweries (or breweries that had previously never won an award) took home the most hardware. 48 new winners were crowned this year, with many coming from Ontario.
Overall, Ontario still remains the total medal count king with a haul of 53 medals, but once again BC is closely chasing behind with 51 medals (BC received a total of 19 golds, 19 silvers and 13 bronzes). These two provinces widely outpace all others, with Quebec coming in third at a total of 20.
BC’s Dageraad brewing was given the coveted Brewery of the Year award after winning three golds for their Belgian style beer submissions. This marks the second year in a row where a BC brewery has taken home that honor, with Mt. Begbie Brewing receiving the award in 2017.
Some of the standout newcomers to the CAB were Grimross Brewing from New Brunswick which claimed an impressive four awards for their first time, Brock Street Brewing from Ontario with three awards, and 2 Crows Brewing from Nova Scotia also with three. What this seems to suggest is there is still a huge growth opportunity for craft beer in markets outside of Vancouver and Toronto which are starting to see some saturation.
The results from this year have also caused some big upsets in our top 10 list of best breweries in the country. There are now a number of breweries tied in medal count, most notably, Four Winds Brewing has moved up from #5 on the list, to now tying Amsterdam Brewing for the #1 spot! At the rate that Four Winds is collecting awards, they are likely to claim the top spot solo by next year.
Other movers included PEI Brewing surpassing A La Fut to claim a three-way tie for 4th with Steamworks and Parallel 49, and Mill Street being knocked out of the list by Central City. BC now represents the most spots on the top 10 with four breweries named.
The top 10 list now looks like:
- Amsterdam Brewing/Four Winds (17 awards)
- Great Western/Nickel Brook (16 awards)
- Great Lakes Brewing (14 awards)
- Steamworks/Parallel 49/PEI Brewing (12 awards)
- A La Fut/Central City (11 awards)
