* Concession Road Brewing Co. GOLD in English Bitters: Little Britain – ESB

Not all breweries enter the CBAs each year, but big kudos to those that did and walked away with medals!

This year's awards really highlighted the sense of community and innovation that drives the craft brewing industry. Boxing Rock Brewing Co. and Corsaire Microbrasserie showed us that with a mix of dedication, creativity, and a love for the craft, you can achieve great things Their wins are an inspiration to brewers everywhere to keep experimenting and perfecting their brews and a realization that traditional styles are still very much alive and well.

The Canadian Brewing Awards are open to all Canadian-owned commercial brewers and beer brands whose products are produced and packaged in Canada. Brewers pay to enter each beer/category, and the judging isn't done live. Some people aren’t fans of this format, seeing it as less transparent, while others view it as standard practice for award shows. Regardless, I always find joy in seeing who comes out on top and discovering new favourites Who knows, maybe you’ll find your next go-to beer or plan a trip to visit the Brewery of the Year!

With this year's successes in the books, we can’t wait to see what the Canadian brewing community comes up with next. Whether it's new flavours or perfecting classic styles, the future of Canadian craft beer looks incredibly bright. So, here’s to another year of amazing brews and the talented people who make them possible Cheers!

This spring, Tiffany suggests you take that bike out of the garage and follow the local trails to all the breweries along the route.
