BC 2008 |
Judging for the 2008 CAMRA BC Amateur Brewer’s Competition took place on March 29th, 2008. It was a tremendous competition with very high quality beers. Thanks to all who sent in entries, and special congratulations to Dave Shaykewich, our big winner this year!
Dave not only took home the Best of Show, but placed first in three categories, took third in another and won the James Cline Memorial trophy for top IPA! Way to go Dave!
I’d also like to offer a huge thank-you to all of our corporate sponsors. Your support makes this competition possible and all donated prizes were enthusiastically received. A big thank-you to:
Askim’s Beer and Wine
Avalon Cottage
Bedford Brewing
Hop Union
Howe Sound Brewing
Lighthouse Brewing
Phillips Brewing
In addition I’d like to acknowledge:
Christie’s Carriage house for hosting our awards night.
Spinnaker’s Brewpub for providing a fabulous prize package for best of show.
Vancouver Island Brewing for providing prizes and hosting our judging event.
Thanks to all the judges and those who helped with organizing. I’m looking forward to next year!
Cheers,
Bill Riel
