Burnaby’s Dageraad Brewing named Canadian Brewery of the Year.<\/h2>\n

Dozens of B.C. brewers travelled across the country to attend Saturday night’s gala awards ceremony for the Canadian Brewing Awards<\/a> held in Halifax this year — 38 different breweries from British Columbia won a total of 51 medals, representing approximately one-third of the 163 total medals awarded.<\/p>\n

The big winner of the evening was Dageraad Brewing<\/a> from Burnaby, B.C., which won three gold medals and was named Canadian Brewery of the Year. Dageraad’s winning beers were: Antwerpen (Belgian-Style Tripel), Burnabarian (Belgian Style Abbey Ale\/Pale Ale), and\u00a0Entropy Series No. 6 (Belgian-Style Brett Beer). The name of the brewery, which opened in Burnaby in 2014, is Flemish Dutch for “daybreak.” Its founder, Ben Coli, was inspired to open the brewery after sampling local beers with friends at caf\u00e9s on the Dageraadplaats, a nondescript city square in Antwerp, Belgium. He decided he wanted to try to brew Belgian-style beers in Canada. Dageraad Brewing has a tasting room at its brewery in Burnaby and distributed its beers in cans and bottles throughout much of British Columbia.<\/p>\n
