The World Beer Awards took place in the United Kingdom where beers from around the world are judged. Cameron’s IPA recipe was produced in 2020 led by brewmaster and vice-president Jason Britton and head brewer Kyran Maine. As for the name, Cruising Through the Galaxy, came from the variety of flavours found in the brew.

“Wheat and oats are the opaque fluffy body contributors, with appropriate water contributions,” said president Clint Israel. “Mosaic and Topaz (hops) are the stars when it comes to the aroma.”

Other Canadian winners included: Begbie Cream Ale from Mt. Begbie Brewing Co. in Revelstoke, B.C., Unibroue Raftman from Chambly, Que., in best flavoured smoke, Moscow Mule from Bad Tattoo of Penticton, B.C., in the flavoured herb and spice category, and best low- or no-alcohol for Aurora by Microbrasserie Le Bockale of Drummondville, Que.
