Cast Your Vote in the 2012 Ontario Brewmasters Cup
The Ontario Brewmaster’s Cup, a competition between 16 of Ontario’s best beers, was founded with a distinct goal: to showcase the great beers being made in this province and to solicit public feedback to determine which of them might conceivably be crowned the best Ontario has to offer.
The idea for The Ontario Brewmaster’s Cup came following the recent “LCBO Brewmaster’s Cup” which kicked off during Euro 2012 as an “online tournament to celebrate major beer brands from different countries in the spirit of competition.” That competition pitted 16 beers the LCBO offers against one another in order to have the public choose their favourite. The LCBO has done much to promote Ontario’s brewers — including creating discovery packs, instituting the “Go Local” campaign, and assisting local brewers with the process of getting their products on store shelves — however, much to the dismay of fans of local beer, the LCBO Brewmaster’s selection from Canada was not from Ontario (not that there’s anything inherently wrong with Moosehead, the beer that was chosen to represent Canada).
In response, feeling that the beers in this province deserve a showcase of their own, four Toronto beer writers,, decided to come together to create an all-Ontario competition — The Ontario Brewmasters Cup — simply to remind beer drinkers that there is plenty of great beer on hand right in our own backyard.
