Hey There,
TAPS Media, the parent company of TAPS: Canada’s Beer Magazine and the Canadian Brewing Awards (CBAs) are currently working on a new website, the one you’re on right now. We are taking our time, making sure we get it right this time around.
You will be able to find the lists of past winners under the 2007, 2008, and 2009 CBA pages. Print them off, share with friends, try drinking every beer that made the list.
For all you brewers and brewery representatives out there who are all wondering when the CBAs will be taking place this year, please rest assured that you will be contacted in due time with plenty of time to get organized. I should mention that it would appear that judging will most likely take place in September….. but I’ll get back to you on that.
And finally, it should be pointed out to our friends in Quebec that we are working hard to get the CBA documentation translated into French, which we’ll hopefully have in hand when we get to Mondial dè la Biere.
Cheers,
Troy Burtch
