    And I'm questioning them already when Beau's gets 3rd in lagered ale's behind sleeman cream ale...

    And a flying monkey beer makes the IPA list and Octopus wants to fight, ransack the universe, sawdust city dont?

    Blind tasting according to style removes the hype flavours.

    Since there doesn't seem to be a list of entrants, how can you be sure these beers were even entered in the competition?
    It is not uncommon for brewers not to enter all their products for these contests.

    I was happy to see that the brewery that brewed the single worst beer that I've had in the last three years won best new brewery..................................

    Agreed, would be curious to see what was submitted for each category. Only thing I could find was beers/breweries represented.

    The OBA's have always been an odd mix of genuinely good Ontario beers and mass produced corn water (and everything in between) sharing awards between them. One year Steelback took home a bunch of awards. That same year they awarded an award for "best seller".

    Glad to see Sleeping Giant bring home an award - gives me something to look forward to when I'm up north next month!

    I thought last year was Manantler so I looked it up. Looks like I was wrong and you sir, are correct! Nothing like a brewery that's been around forever winning best new brewery.
