The competition was fierce, with 6 breweries bringing their A-game. The atmosphere was friendly, lively and very 1980’s, with everyone enjoying the opportunity to share their passion for brewing and beer.

Not only did judges vote for a champion, people came in their best 80’s attire to this unique event and took plenty of notes (and samples) before wielding their power to choose the People’s Choice winner.

And The Winners Are…

After over 200 votes were tallied, with votes for each beer submitted, the people had spoken and the winner of the People’s Choice Award was…

The Beerded Dog from Harrow for their Slush Puppy Sour!

Its greenish-blue colour was eye-popping, but what really stole people’s hearts was the edible glitter infused into the beer. The Beerded Dog took home last years title of Master of the Brewniverse.

As for the judges, they chose a different beer. The winner of the 2023 Masters of the Brewniverse is….

Cured Craft Brewing Co. from Leamington, Ontario for their French Biere de Garde!!!

It’s a French specialty style of beer brewed in the northeast region of France along the border to Belgium. It’s a strong, malt-accentuated, lagered artisanal beer that’s malt forward with toasty-rich, biscuity, and toffee-like complex malt character.
