Could Dageraad Brewing’s Blonde be the best beer in Canada?
We’ll find out next month when the Burnaby brewed beer faces off against four other beers from across the country at the 2018 Gold Medal Pints – part of the annual Gold Medal Plates competition.
“We are very excited about this flavourful addition to Gold Medal Plates and look forward to evolving it into a true, Canada-wide beer competition in the coming years,” said Canadian Culinary Championships’ national beer advisor Stephen Beaumont.
The top five beers are Original 16 (Great Western, Saskatchewan); Nectarous (Four Winds, B.C.); Blonde (Dageraad, B.C.); Headline Milk Stout (North Brewing, N.S.); and Péché Mortel (Dieu du Ciel, Que.).
The finalists will face off at the Canadian Culinary Championships on Feb. 2 in Kelowna.

In October, Dageraad Brewing took home five medals at the annual B.C. Beer Awards, including three gold medals for Anno 2016, Louise and the Lake City Farmhouse saison.
Dageraad Brewing is located at unit 114-3191 Thunderbird Cres.
