What the judges said

Competition Awards

Every medal this archive holds, with the brewery, the beer, the year and the competition that gave it. A medal is recorded as a relationship between a competition and a brewery, which means it survives even when the brewery does not.

By placement

97 of the 465 rows record that a beer was awarded without recording where it placed. Those sit under “Other” rather than being promoted to a medal nobody can evidence. The category and the beer are known in every case; the placement is not.

Who says so

A medal is a claim, and most beer directories take it from whoever won it. 28 of the 465awards here have been checked line by line against the awarding body's own published results. The rest have not, and are shown at lower confidence until they are.

Where the other 437 currently come from: bcaletrail.ca (117), brewerscupofca.com (83), bcbeerawards.ca (44), liquormarts.ca (29), worldbeercup.org (23), canadabeercup.com (10), and 35 with no source recorded at all. A brewery's own wall of fame and a regional tourism site are both plausible and neither is the competition.

Most decorated in this archive

Ranked by medals recorded here, which is not the same as medals won. Coverage is deepest where the archive has done the work — Canadian and west-coast American competitions — so this is a league table of our own reading, not of brewing.

Awards are recorded from competition results, not from brewery self-reporting, and a medal is never removed because a brewery closed. If a result here is wrong or missing, the correction route is the same as for everything else.
