Vancouver magazine unveils first winners of its inaugural craft beer awards

Best of show: Steamworks Brewing Co. Imperial Red Ale

Vancouver Magazine has unveiled the winners of its 1st Annual International Craft Beer awards. The best in show winner was a local brew, Steamworks Brewing's Imperial Red Ale, though it was up against a wide international field of competitors. The awards were presented Friday night at the Roundhouse Community Centre as part of Vancouver Craft Beer Week. The June issue of the magazine, out now, makes awards in 15 categories (who knew there could be so many categories of beer?).
