Gold Medal Pints, an invitational beer competition highlighting the best in Canadian lagers and ales, has been added this year.
Gold Medal Pints saw local breweries hand-selected by international beer authority and event national beer advisor Stephen Beaumont, working in consultation with a team of local beer experts from across Canada. The breweries were invited to pour beers at local Gold Medal Plates events91裸聊视频攗sed to select the finalists to compete in the national championships in Kelowna next month.
Five beers were poured at each city91裸聊视频檚 Gold Medal Plate preliminary event, with guests invited to sample the ales, lagers and mixed fermentation beers. The 50 top Canadian beers were entered into a single, nation-wide competition that saw the team of independent experts, led by Beaumont, judge pilsners against stouts and IPAs against wheat beers in order to determine the five beers to be poured at the Canadian Culinary Championships in Kelowna Feb. 2.
At the Mystery Wine Pairing Event, the names of the Gold, Silver and Bronze medal winning beers will be announced.
