Saskatoon brewery wins international beer award Last Updated: Thursday, August 20, 2009 | 4:45 PM CT Comments13Recommend9 CBC News
A Saskatchewan brewery has won bragging rights to say it makes one of the world's best beers.
Great Western Brewing of Saskatoon came away from the World Beer Awards competition with the top honour for "standard lagers," beating out Clausthaler Classic and Sam Adams Light, the company said in a news release Thursday.
Great Western president Ron Waldman called the award "truly remarkable," saying it shows the company is doing something right.
Also delighted by the news was Great Western brewmaster Viv Jones.
"Lagers are the most popular varietal in the world, so to be selected as the best standard lager is a tad overwhelming, to be honest," Jones said.
The win came after five months of evaluations. The annual competition, which is broken down into a variety of different beer categories, is organized by a British publishing company.
