Representatives of Tool Shed Brewing Company from Calgary, Alberta, proudly celebrate their numerous awards at the 2024 Canada Beer Cup.

The Canada Beer Cup stands as the sole national not-for-profit beer competition in Canada. The entry fees and sponsorships collected for this three-year-old event are utilized to support the Canadian Craft Brewers Association, an organization dedicated to promoting and safeguarding the interests of more than 1,200 small and independent craft breweries, brewpubs, and their supplier partners across Canada.

This year’s Canada Beer Cup featured around 1,500 beers judged across various categories. The winners were revealed during a celebratory event on October 18, which took place as part of the BC Craft Brewers Conference. Each year, the awards celebration is hosted in a different location to benefit a provincial brewing guild alongside its corresponding conference.

In many ways, the Canadian craft beer scene mirrors that of the United States. Christine Comeau, the executive director of the Canadian Craft Brewers Association, notes that over 200 beers were submitted in the India Pale Ale categories, a category that, similar to the Great American Beer Festival, is renowned for its fierce competition among styles.

In addition to the rising popularity of India pale ale, Comeau noted in a phone interview that “the sours and fruit beers also had a remarkable presence with over 150 entries.”

“Interestingly, during our inaugural year in 2022, we did not grant any silver or gold medals in the low-alcohol beer category,” Comeau explained. “However, in 2024, we welcomed over 50 entries in both non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beers. Not only did we award golds, but the gold-medal winning low-alcohol beer from Dageraad Brewing in British Columbia also secured the bronze for overall Best of Show. This highlights the growing interest in, and the improved quality of, low-alcohol craft beer in Canada.”

The prestigious Best of Show gold medal went to Quark, Strangeness, Charm produced by Pile O’ Bones Brewing based in Regina, Saskatchewan, making it a contender for the best beer crafted in Canada.
