The Canadian Brewing Awards 2019 were held May 4th in Toronto during a gala ceremony that was the closing event for the CBA Conference.
Canadian breweries of all sizes are eligible to compete in the 55 style categories to determine the country’s best beers. A Canadian Brewing Award medal is widely recognized as a symbol of Canadian brewing excellence.
