BC Brewery of the Year?

Post by Derek »

Howe Sound really hit their stride and won more CBA's than ANY other brewery... and rightly so. Driftwood introduced some truly world class brews. Personally, I'd say it's between those two.

Lighthouse was probably the BIGGEST surprise. For years they've been consistent & flawless, but fairly mainstream... then they started their big flavour series.

Dead Frog started their Beermaster series as well, and expanded into Ontario along with Tree & Central City, but I'm not sure they were overly spectacular in 2011?

Phillips continues to brew great & innovative things as well.

What do you think, any other contenders?

I don't feel like I have tried enough of the beers from these breweries to vote. That said, Driftwood would probably get my vote based on what I have heard and read this year.

Hmm... 3:2... I may have skewed the results with my thoughts.
