MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 15, 2017 /CNW/ - Thornbury Village Craft Brewery was honoured in two categories with "Best of Country" at the prestigious 2017 World Beer Awards. The "Country Winner" awards recognize the Ontario Craft brewery as the best in Canada in two key categories!
Thornbury Village Craft Brewery won "Country Winner" for the following categories:
Czech-Style Pale Lager (Canada): Pickup No. 26 Pilsner
Vienna /Amber Lager (Canada): Ladder Run Amber Lager
The winning beers will move forward in the competition and will be tasted against other "Country Winners" from other nations to compete for the 'World's Best Styles.' Those winners will then compete for the 'World's Best Beers' by Category. Winners will be announced in late September.
