Recognizing excellence in British Columbia’s craft beer industry.

The British Columbia Beer Awards (BCBA) is an annual celebration of excellence in craft brewing, held in New Westminster—just outside Vancouver. Hosted by the BC Craft Brewers Guild as part of the BC Craft Brewers Conference during BC Craft Beer Month, this event recognizes the best of BC’s craft beer industry.

At its core, BCBA is a province-wide brewery competition judged by certified beer experts across a wide range of styles. The results are revealed live during an industry-focused awards ceremony that also doubles as a lively beer festival, complete with food vendors and games.

While the event is open to the public, it remains a special night for BC’s brewing community—a time to connect, celebrate, and raise a glass to the outstanding talent shaping the province’s craft beer scene.
