A big thank-you to all the brewers who participated in this year’s amateur brewers competition! The judges all agreed that the overall quality of the beers entered were the best we’ve ever had! On top of that, we had a significant increase in the number of entries over last year. Well done!                                             

A very big thank-you to all the volunteers, judges, stewards and others who helped the event run smoothly.  

As a way to say “thank-you” and to celebrate, both CAMRA Victoria and CAMRA Vancouver will host an “awards night” to hand out prizes and ribbons. Keep your eyes on this site and watch the CAMRA email list for details, times and locations.  

Now, for what you’ve all been waiting for: the results of the 2009 CAMRA Amateur Brewers Competition.  The following table lists the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners for each category. For Victoria residents, individual score sheets can be picked up at Askim’s Beer and Wine Emporium. For those who entered from Vancouver or the lower mainland, your score sheets will eventually be mailed out along with ribbons and will be distributed during your awards night.  

Once again, thank you for your participation! And it’s not too early to start thinking about next years competition…
