(BC) Granville Island Wins Silver For Robson Street Hefeweizen, At World Beer Championships
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – It’s been brought to our attention that a certain brewery in the “North” recently won recognition for their Hefeweizen. Located on famous Granville Island, Granville Island Brewing recently won Silver at the World Beer Championships.
Organized by the Beverage Tesitng Institute (BTI) in Chicago, IL. and inning an impressive 88 points, this summer sipper beat out some pretty healthy competition.
“We’re extremely proud of the quality of our beers and we are truly honoured with this award,” says Granville Island brewmaster Vern Lambourne.“To be recognized amongst our peers is a testament to the level of excellence that we strive for everyday at our brewery.”
GIB’s Robson Street Hefeweizen is an unfiltered wheat ale brewed from a suspension of precious Bavarian yeast, with generous amounts of malted wheat and German hops. Adding a wedge of lemon makes Hefeweizen the perfect summer refreshment. Robson Street Hefeweizen is available in 6-packs in liquor stores and on patios throughout Metro Vancouver.
As much as we hate to admit it, having this beer in the Fall won’t be the same, so we would advise heading out and grabbing a six pack or pint of this, now.
