Each year our chapter of the Campaign for Real Ale conducts a poll of its members to recognize local and regional excellence in craft brewing and craft beer services. We collect nominations for various categories and then send out the ballots via e-mail. The votes were tallied in January and the winners presented with their awards at the 2011 CAMRA Vancouver AGM at Central City Brewing Company. We are very excited to announce this year’s winners.
