These Four N.B. Breweries Won Awards At Canadian Craft Beer Awards
SAINT JOHN– New Brunswick breweries made their mark at the 2019 Canadian Brewing Awards which took place over the weekend in Toronto.
New Brunswick breweries took home bronze, silver and gold in several different categories.
Moncton-based Pump House Brewery took home the gold for its “Schwartz” in the Kellerbier/Zwickelbier category. Fredericton’s Grimross took home silver in the Belgian-Style Abbey Ale / Pale Ale category for its “Grimdonk” brew.
Rothesay’s Foghorn Brewing Company won bronze for its “Golden Grover” in the English Style Pale Ale category. Saint John-based Moosehead Breweries placed silver in that same category for its “Moosehead Small Batch Ten Penny Stock Ale.”
The Saint John brewery also placed twice in the Special Honey/Maple Lager or Ale category, winning bronze for its “Moosehead Small Batch Honey Wheat Ale” and gold for its “Moosehead Small Batch Sugar Bush.” It was the first year of eligibility for its small-batch brews, and the company fared well, says Moosehead president Andrew Oland.
“Moosehead has participated in the Canadian Brewing Awards for years, and we’ve been fortunate to be honoured in the past – but this year’s wins are something special,” said Oland in a release. “We opened our Small Batch Brewery less than a year ago – to see the quality of the beers we’re producing being recognized by the brewing community is an incredible achievement.”
The winning beers in all categories at the Canadian Brewing Awards are selected in a series of blind tastings by a panel of certified judges. A full list of winners can be found here.
