🍻 Three medals. Outstanding brewing talent.

🏆 KPU Brewing is raising a glass to our students, instructors, and recent graduates, who brought home three medals at the 2026 BC B**r Awards!

🥇 GOLD — Knotty Bee
(Stout & Porter category)
Created by recent graduates Brennan Mojica and Jacob Black, this nitro milk stout impressed judges with rich chocolate character, subtle honeyed sweetness and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel.

🥈 SILVER — MacToff
(Yeast Forward category)
Developed by recent graduate Connor Thomson, this Scottish-style ale brings together notes of caramel, brown sugar, maple syrup and blackstrap molasses.

🥉 BRONZE — Schwarz
(Dark L***r category)
One of KPU Brew Lab’s core b**rs, Schwarz earned bronze in a competitive field of 20 entries.

These wins celebrate the talent, creativity and dedication of our student brewers and graduates, alongside the instructors and Brew Lab team who help bring their work to life.

Today, we pause to honour Survivors, their families, and their communities, and to remember the children who never returned home from residential schools.

At KPU, we recognize the deep and lasting impact of residential schools on Indigenous communities across Canada. We stand in solidarity with Indigenous peoples, reflecting on the past and committing to building a future rooted in respect, understanding, and genuine reconciliation.

This day is a reminder of the work we must continue by listening, learning, and taking action toward reconciliation.
