The BRISTOL, silver medalist at the 2016 World Beer Awards, and the BROWN ALE both won the Country Winner Canada Award this year. Last but not least, the ANNE BONNY, already gold medalist at the 2017 Canadian Brewing Awards , received the silver medal in Canada. The Kirke, the Bristol and the Brown Ale are all British-inspired beers.
