In an earlier post, here, I promised to post the results of the competition I helped judge. And here they are! I note that there has been a bit of controversy about the IPA category not even being given a Bronze Medal, let alone the absence of some of the beer most Canadian beer geeks would tell you are the best brews in the country. Maybe more on that in the future, all I can say is: I did not judge the IPA Category. OK? A "J" after the category name means I judged a part of that category, not necessarily the part that decided the winners.
