We are honoured and humbled to announce that two of our beers have brought home gold medals in their categories, as well as an honorable mention for Beer of the Year at the 2018 Atlantic Canada Beer Awards this past weekend in Halifax!
Our Seven Years Pale Ale took home the gold medal in the Pale Ale category, as well as receiving an honorable mention for Beer of the Year! Our second gold medal was awarded to our Cocoa Envy Chocolate Porter in the Porter/Stout category!
Although we don’t brew our beer with these awards in mind, we couldn’t be happier to receive the accolade.
We would like to send a huge congratulations to our friends at Tatamagouche Brewery Co for winning Brewery of the Year, and 2 Crows Brewing for winning Beer of the year with Forever Young.
