Great Canadian Beer Fest’s top 15(ish) beers
The Great Canadian Beer Festival wrapped up over the weekend in Victoria and we can attest to this year’s festival being a truly great one! Sunny weather, over 60 phenomenal Canadian craft breweries and cideries, and a whole lot of craft beverage lovers made the event a success.
We were thrilled to contribute by building the official GCBF app which garnered nearly 1,200 unique users over the two day event. Thanks to these users, we were able to come up with a top beers list, based on the beers that were “favourited” most often in the app.
And so, without further ado, here is the top 15 list of beers from this year’s Great Canadian Beer Festival chosen by you, the beer drinkers!
