BC Beer Awards

The BC Beer Awards & Festival celebrates the very best beer brewed in British Columbia.

The BC Beer Awards team has once again made the difficult decision to cancel the annual judging and festival for the second year running.

Although vaccination efforts are ramping up in B.C., it seems unlikely that restrictions will ease soon enough to allow us to offer an optimal BC Beer Awards and Festival experience. Both events depend on large groups of people and have many points of potential COVID-19 risk.

We recognize the ongoing impact that the lack of festivals and gatherings is having on BC breweries. But given the ongoing uncertainty, and while it saddens us to have to do so, we believe cancelling is best for our breweries and sponsors. We hope you'll understand.

Thanks to everyone who has taken part in the BC Beer Awards over the past 10 years. We look forward to having a beer with you all in 2022. And in the meantime, support your local breweries and restaurants!
