Patina Brewing Makes History at the BC Beer Awards!
We are beyond excited to share some incredible news with our Patina family and craft beer lovers alike—Patina Brewing has become the first brewery in Port Coquitlam to win an award at the prestigious BC Beer Awards! After receiving an honourable mention in the past, this year, our signature Italian Pilsner took home a respectable second-place finish in its category. It’s a huge milestone for us, and we couldn’t be prouder of our team, our beer, and our community that’s supported us every step of the way!
The Story Behind the Award-Winning Italian Pilsner
Our Italian Pilsner has always been a fan favourite, and this award feels like a recognition of all the passion and dedication that goes into brewing it. Crafted with the finest ingredients and a focus on balance and crisp, refreshing flavours, our Italian Pilsner is a modern take on a classic style. It’s brewed with a slightly hoppier profile, giving it a distinct character while still maintaining the clean, easy-drinking quality pilsners are known for. We’re thrilled that the judges at the BC Beer Awards recognized what makes this beer special, and we’re even more excited for you to come in and try it for yourself!
Patina’s Growing List of Accomplishments
This latest win at the BC Beer Awards is just one more accomplishment to add to the growing list of accolades Patina has earned over the years. We’ve been fortunate enough to receive recognition locally as well. For the past four years, Patina Brewing has been named Tri-City News A-List Brewery of the Year!
To be voted Brewery of the Year by our community, year after year, means everything to us. It’s a testament to our commitment to quality, innovation, and creating a welcoming space where friends and neighbours can gather to enjoy great beer and great company.
Join Us in Celebrating!
To our loyal patrons and supporters, this win is as much yours as it is ours. None of this would have been possible without the incredible community of beer lovers that surrounds us, and we’re excited to continue sharing our craft with you. Whether you’ve been a regular since day one or are planning your first visit, now is the perfect time to come in, celebrate with us, and try the award-winning Italian Pilsner that’s making waves across the province!
