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.

Spider-Man‘s Tom Holland, who made the decision to stop drinking in January 2022, launched three non-alcoholic beers under his new label Bero. The beverages, which include Kingston Golden Pils, Edge Hill Hazy IPA, and Noon Wheat, aim to fill the gap Holland experienced in the non-alcoholic drink market. “My first year sober was really difficult, and had I had Bero, I think it would have been easier,” Holland shared with Forbes.

“I found that I could rest more peacefully, and I was able to manage challenges more effectively — issues that would typically frustrate me on set, I could now navigate with ease,” he shared.

Tom also reminisced about his past when he would excessively indulge in alcohol, which inevitably resulted in him waking up each morning with “a horrible headache.”

“I eventually asked myself, ‘What’s the reason I am a prisoner to this drink? Why am I so fixated on the thought of having another drink?’” he expressed to Jay Shetty. “I’m proud to admit it — I was indeed dependent on alcohol, and there’s no denying that.”

“He’s doing it for individuals battling alcoholism, which he himself faced,” shared one individual posted. “Absolutely. I’m really proud of him for assisting those in the same struggle he once endured,” remarked another wrote.

“The conversation surrounding non-alcoholic drinks can be so irritating. If you don’t get it or don’t want it, well, you don’t have to consume it????” a different user tweeted in reaction to the criticism Tom faced.

Oct. 14 (UPI) — A baby made his debut in the parking lot of his parents’ beloved microbrewery in Michigan, and in a delightful twist, the establishment crafted a special brew to celebrate the little one.

Aaron and Kyle Baker were en route from Vicksburg to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo on the day they expected their baby to arrive when they realized they would not reach the hospital in time.

They quickly called for an ambulance and parked at One Well Brewing, their favorite microbrewery, where baby Forrest Wells Baker entered the world just moments later.

“We’ve been joking that Forrest just wanted to swing by for a quick beer on the way to the hospital, just like his dad would,” Kyle Baker told MLive. “When people first heard, everybody thought we were just sitting in here having a beer when I went into labor.”

A post shared by One Well Brewing (@onewellbrewing)

To honor the arrival of baby Forrest Wells, One Well Brewing crafted a blood orange blonde ale. His parents were invited to come help mix the brew at the brewery. The beer, named Special Delivery, is set to be tapped later this month.

Chris O’Neill, the owner of One Well, humorously noted that while baby Forrest Wells will have to wait another 21 years to savor a pint, his birth might just bring him “free beer for life.”

“The One Well Promise is, if a baby is born in the parking lot, that baby gets free beer for life,” he remarked.

Brewers are seen celebrating with Bob Pease, the President & CEO of the Brewers Association, who stands fourth from the right, after earning a medal at the Great American Beer Festival.

The Great American Beer Festival serves as an annual event that highlights a diverse array of beers from across the country. Organized by the Brewers Association, which advocates for America’s small and independent breweries, this festival is also known for its prestigious beer competition. The winners from the 2024 competition were revealed during a festive gathering on October 12 at the Denver Convention Center, the traditional venue for this event.

This year, nearly 9,200 beers and ciders were evaluated. Participants came from all 50 states, along with representatives from the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Chris Williams, the competition director for the Brewers Association, mentions that the Great American Beer Festival competition encapsulates the essence of craft beer in the United States. While the number of submissions remained consistent with last year’s figures, it saw a decline from the record high of over 10,000 entries in 2022, mirroring the plateauing growth within the craft beer sector. True to form, the top three categories featured were primarily IPAs, yet it was noted that a majority of the remaining top-ten categories consisted of lagers, indicating a rising trend in the appreciation for craft lagers. The only ale category to make it into the top ten was Fruited American Sour.

“Approximately 5,000 volunteer hours are required to receive, unpack, sort, and organize the beers,” Williams shared during a phone interview. “It’s truly an impressive undertaking!” He emphasizes that breweries must submit several cans or bottles of each beer entered into the competition, allowing for thorough judging across multiple rounds by the 285 top judges from around the country. In total, nearly 60,000 cans and bottles of beer are processed.

Portico Brewing emphasizes the importance of eco-friendly methods to lessen their ecological footprint.

Portico Brewing emphasizes the importance of eco-friendly methods to lessen their ecological footprint.

The craft beer sector is overflowing with creativity, particularly in terms of sustainability. Portico Brewing located in Somerville has aimed to be an environmentally conscious brewery since its inception. According to Better Bev, it qualifies as a green brewery due to its strong commitment to environmental preservation.

“When most breweries start out, the focus is simply on ensuring that you have enough glassware and can produce enough beer for customers,” states Portico founder Adam Rabe. “Considering sustainability often comes later, usually around year three when things are more stable.”

Portico is dedicated to minimizing waste throughout the brewing process, utilizing renewable energy, and lowering their overall carbon emissions. Their facility is entirely powered by electricity, and they have done away with plastic cups and other disposable items.

OGDEN — Following its successful launch in the spring, where around 1,100 eager Ogden residents gathered at The Monarch, the Ogden Beer Fest is returning to celebrate the upcoming spooky season.

The event, titled “Boo’s & Brews,” presented by Ogden Beer Fest, will take place on October 19 from 4-10 p.m. at The Monarch once again. Tickets are available starting at $23, which includes entry to the event along with five complimentary sample pours.

For those looking to indulge further, additional sample pours can be pre-purchased or bought at the venue, with expectations that the event will reach capacity. Reduced-price non-alcoholic tickets are also offered. Tickets can be purchased by visiting https://www.ogdenbeerfest.com.

In line with the Halloween spirit, Chase Burch, co-founder and lead producer of the event, has encouraged attendees to embrace the festive atmosphere by coming in costume, as reported by the Standard-Examiner.

Boo’s & Brews steps in to replace the now-closed Peculiar Pours event and is benefiting from the positive vibes following the successful debut of the Ogden Beer Fest, as noted by Burch.

“The initial event was, I would say, just incredibly successful,” Burch remarked. “Honestly, our main challenge was — when we reached capacity and there were so many attendees — we were simply doing our best to manage the flow and the volume.”

Burch assures that the upcoming second event will have a more efficient system in place, showcasing a variety of craft offerings from numerous breweries and distilleries.

Participating vendors for Boo’s & Brews include Ogden Beer Company, Red Rock Brewing Co., Epic Brewing Co., UTOG Brewing Co., Roosters Brewing Co., Kiitos Brewing, Uinta Brewing Co., Proper Brewing Co., Second Summit Hard Cider Co., Sugarhouse Distillery, and Ogden’s Own Distillery.

The gathering will also feature culinary delights from Lucky Slice and Weller’s Bistro, complemented by live music from Ogden’s own Bryson Dearden.

While it may seem that Utah isn’t a prominent player in the beer and brewing industry to those unfamiliar, Burch highlights that the state has a surprisingly vibrant scene.

“At first glance, many might think that due to the strict regulations regarding alcohol and beer in Utah, it creates a stifling atmosphere. However, my experience, particularly after participating in Beer Fest last spring and collaborating with the numerous excellent breweries and distilleries across the state, has shown me just how false that perception is,” Burch explained.

“The culture here is incredibly lively, dynamic, and filled with enthusiasm.”

Burch expressed admiration for the camaraderie among the numerous breweries that have emerged in the area.

“It’s refreshing to witness such a supportive environment, rather than one that is dog-eat-dog or overly competitive,” Burch noted. “They are joining forces to produce amazing results, which ultimately benefits all.”

Kamala Harris concluded a full day of media appearances with a visit to Late Show with Stephen Colbert. During her time on the show, she reiterated her pointed criticisms of Donald Trump and described her experience in the “whirlwind” of a presidential campaign.

Excerpts from a pool report highlighted that Harris’ conversation with Colbert took place in a congenial atmosphere, even leading them to enjoy a Miller High Life together.

Colbert commended her performance in debates against Trump, inquiring about her thoughts captured in a photograph from that night where she is seen resting her chin on her hand.

“It’s family TV, right? It starts with a W, there’s a letter between it, then the last letter’s F,” Harris responded.

Colbert inquired about some of the insights from Bob Woodward’s forthcoming book, War. As reported by The Washington Post and other sources today, Woodward mentions that Trump had seven conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin since leaving office. In response, Trump’s campaign has criticized Woodward and his work.

Harris commented, “I first heard about it today. I haven’t had a chance to read it. However, I stated during the debate that Donald Trump openly admires dictators and authoritarian leaders. He has expressed a desire to become a dictator from day one if he were to regain the presidency. He is manipulated by these figures. He is drawn to so-called strongmen and is easily swayed by their flattery or favors.”

Harris also referenced another segment of Woodward’s book, which mentions that during the early phase of the Covid pandemic, Trump sent testing kits to Putin.

“If the information I’ve heard about Bob Woodward’s book is accurate, Donald Trump covertly sent Covid test kits to Putin for his personal use. I urge everyone here and everyone watching to reflect: do you recall what those times were like? Think about how many individuals struggled to obtain tests and were frantically trying to find them?”

She remarked, “Consider the implications of this alongside his affectionate correspondence with Kim Jong Un. Really think about it. He seems to believe, ‘Well, that’s his buddy.’ What about the American citizens? They should be your primary focus.”

Similar to Jimmy Kimmel, who featured Tim Walz on his show recently, Colbert has participated in campaign events for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. He moderated a fundraising event in March with Biden, as well as former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, while the president was still in the race for reelection.

A unique collection of hand-blown glasses from Pretentious Glass features designs aimed at enhancing the beers brewed at Pretentious Beer.

Matthew Cummings is a creative force. He established Pretentious Glass Co. in 2012 in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee, holding both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s of fine arts in glass sculpture.

In the same year, he embarked on his journey into homebrewing. “I was a broke artist,” Cummings shared during a phone conversation. “But I was a big beer fan and I wanted Zombie Dust at High Life prices.” Zombie Dust, a pale ale from Indiana’s 3 Floyds Brewing, was one of the key beers that sparked Cummings’ passion for craft beverages.

As a devoted reader, Cummings immersed himself in the literature on brewing beer, refined his beermaking abilities, and in 2016, he launched a beer bar adjacent to Pretentious Glass, which began producing its own beer a year later, operating under the name Pretentious Beer Co.

“We are truly unique in the world as a destination where guests can enjoy beer crafted on-site, served in glasses created right here, all while witnessing the entire production process,” shares Cummings.

Cummings notes that while much of the existing research focuses on how the shape of a wine glass influences flavor, it was his responsibility to create glassware that would enhance the tasting experience of his beers. Drawing from the Belgian tradition where every type of beer is paired with a specific glass, Cummings embarked on a journey to experiment with a multitude of Belgian beer glasses. This exploration led him to design glassware at Pretentious Glass that is as distinctive as the beers served at Pretentious Beer, which often boasts up to 18 different selections on tap.

“I needed to personally explore what really brings out the flavors in beer,” Cummings reflects.

“Our taproom operates within the brewery and our glass shop is adjacent to the glass studio,” he elaborates. “Visitors can enter, observe the brewing process, order a beer, stroll through our beer garden, and then watch artisans crafting glass.” Pretentious Glass offers glasses in 30 signature designs, alongside a vast array of unique one-off creations. Additionally, handcrafted decanters, holiday ornaments, and other decorative items are available for purchase. Guests even have the opportunity to sign up for a class to create their own glass piece.

The Pretentious Foamy Boi glass is crafted specifically for lagers served through a LUKR faucet, a Czech-style faucet known for its foam control.

For those who find the variety overwhelming, Cummings shares, “My favorite glass to create is the Foamy Boi. The diamond texture feels incredible, and adding the handle is a thrilling process. This cup requires precise execution for optimal performance, which adds an exciting sense of drama to the experience.”

The Pretentious Pilsner Glass showcases a gentle flare that elevates the beer’s foam cap.

For those seeking a more polished and straightforward option, Cummings expresses, “I take immense pride in the Pilsner Glass. It stands out in my collection due to its simplicity compared to my typically extravagant designs. However, its charm lies in its classic aesthetics—no gimmicks or complicated techniques—but it remains incredibly captivating. It perfectly balances uniqueness with approachability. The mild, subtle flare at the top of the glass forms a pillowy head like no other. Whenever I wish to create an impressive, creamy, slow-pour head on a pils, this is the glass I reach for. It’s genuinely one of my favorite aspects of being a brewer who also dabbles in glassmaking.”
