For the Sours aficionados right here — you realize who you might be 
— the apparent foci shall be Class Numbers 15, 16, 43, and 54, with some additions current in Class 45.
Since 3CM is, as at all times, a data-nerd loser sort, right here’s the breakdown of the winners by province:
In parallel with the robust US West Coast presence (WA, OR) within the American craft beer market (regardless that craft beers are nearly in every single place within the USA, it appears), it’s maybe no shock to see the dominant presence of BC within the rankings, given its West Coast standing among the many Canadian provinces. The highest 4 provinces in Canadian inhabitants, per 2021 census data, are, so as:
1. Ontario
2. Quebec
3. British Columbia
4. Alberta
The identical 4 provinces have the most important shares of prize winners on this 12 months’s Canadian Brewing Awards, albeit in a unique order:
So all this provides 194 beers to the infinitely increasing checklist of craft beers that 3CM the loser won’t ever style . Nevertheless, tonight’s featured choice is, for as soon as, really sort of shut in spirit to this checklist. It’s a Glutenberg Stout, from Montreal (by the use of an SC-based importer), and the QC-based brewery that swept Class # 46, the “Gluten-Free Beer” class (which can or could not say one thing about how crowded, or not, to not point out how giant, or not, the Canadian gluten-free beer market is). I’m in no way a stouts aficionado, nevertheless it has that strong “stout really feel”, even with being a gluten-free brew based mostly on millet and corn, as indicated on the label. I don’t have any points with gluten in my food regimen, as the choice resulted from randomly seeing it in an institution and figuring that this could be an appropriate alternative for this specific Friday.
Plus, if nothing else, the PR-blurb for this specific flavo(u)r has a barely off-beat tone. The unique French reads:
BTW, the ‘official’ English textual content is strictly what you get if you feed the unique French textual content into Google Translator. Make of that what you’ll . Talking of translations, it took me this lengthy to comprehend that the French phrase “brasserie” really means “brewery”, one thing that I in some way by no means bothered to determine all this time, despite seeing the time period “brasserie” with varied American eating places over time. As nicely, concerning stouts, one other stout of a really totally different vibe will function in my subsequent FNBB this month, if all goes to plan. Keep tuned.
With that, particular greetings to our Canadian buddies, and time to show the e-floor over to you of us. What are you sipping tonight? Anybody brewing their very own? Particular digital factors to you if you’re imbibing a Canadian brew tonight, and further factors if any posters right here tonight are Canadian
