CABA "Homebrewer of the year" brews with OCB

Post by Derek »

Now available at Beau's...

"Tommy Gun APA (Available Now!) – CABA CABA Hey! Thanks to a partnership with the Canadian Amateur Brewers Association (CABA) and the Ontario Craft Brewers, the winner of the CABA Homebrewer of the Year gets to help design and brew a beer with the Beau's team. Ed Koren & Louis DeBourbon, who call themselves the Beer Shack, and Beau's are proud to present this collaborative effort. 5 organic malts and 2 varieties of organic American hops help make this rich, flavorful and refreshing American-Style Pale Ale (APA), brewed to satisfy the sophisticated palate. Beau's and the BeerShack hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoyed brewing it."

Congrats to those guys!

But they won Best of Show, not Homebrewer of the Year; that was Kevin Tighe.

Edit: I re-read the newsletter, as well as the official GCHC results: http://www.homebrewers.ca/competitions_ ... inners.php
So Kevin was the GCHC Homebrewer of the Year, while Beer Shack won the GCHC BoS, which means they were awarded the OCB Homebrewer of the Year award. Now that is confusing.
