This year's Canadian Brewing Awards saw B.C. breweries take home 52 of the 163 medals awarded at last night's event, including one of the two top prizes.

Delta's Four Winds Brewing took home the coveted Beer of the Year Award with their Nectarous dry-hopped sour ale, while the Brewery of the Year award went to Collingwood, Ontario's Side Launch Brewing Company. (Four Winds was named Brewery of the Year in 2015.)

More than 40 judges weighed in on the final decisions at the awards, which were held in conjuction with the 14th annual Canadian Brewing Conference. It was the first time in the history of the event that the conference was held in the Greater Vancouver area.

It happened to coincide with the kick-off of Vancouver Craft Beer Week, which will be hosting an event this evening (Sunday, May 29) to showcase some of last night's award-winning brews.
