The Canadian Brewing Awards are Canada’s longest standing beer awards, having determined Canada’s best commercial beers since 2000. For 2024, over 1,800 beers were entered from every province of Canada across 61 categories.

The craft beer scene in Canada mirrors that of the United States, though it is arguably more competitive, with more breweries per capita. The most-entered category was Category 38 - New England Style India Pale Ale. Interestingly, the long-predicted rise of craft lager seems to finally be happening, with Category 1 - European Style Lager (Pilsner) being one of the most-entered categories.

Unique to Canada, Category 61 - Canadian Evergreen Beer awards beers brewed with needles from evergreen trees or shrubs. The winning beer was T.W.S. Sitka Spruce Tip Brut IPA from Rusted Rake Brewing of British Columbia.

At a Gala on May 25 held in Hamilton, Ontario, brewers from across the country gathered to find out who made the best beers in Canada for 2024.

Out of the 61 gold medal winners, a Best of Show is also awarded. That most-prestigious award went to Corsaire Dark Mild from Corsaire Microbrasserie of Quebec.

The Canadian Brewery Awards also awards Brewery of the Year to the brewery winning the most awards. The 2024 Canadian Brewery of the Year was Boxing Rock Brewing of Nova Scotia.
