Last weekend, winners of the 2023 BC Beer Awards were named at the Croatian Cultural Centre. The judges evaluated 925 entries to select the winners in 29 categories. I was invited to attend the ceremony and was excited to celebrate with the breweries and other beer lovers.

Saturday’s ceremony also included a beer festival. In the past, they had breweries setting up booths and pouring samples of their beers.

On October 20, 2018, winners of this year’s BC Beer Awards were named. The ceremony was held in conjunction of a tasting event with 60 breweries setting up shop at the Croatian Cultural Centre.

BC Beer Awards received 1,085 entries from 109 breweries. The judging took place over 3 days and was performed by a panel of BJPC (Beer Judge Certification Program), Cicerones and Pro Brewers from all over North America.

Like last year, there was also a Brewers Challenge. Participating breweries were challenged this year to brew something with fresh hop. It can be any beer style. The judging took place as we were given a tour of the space.

And I must say, it’s pretty awesome to see Lien Yeung at CBC as the emcee, especially with her on the step stool. I can totally relate!
