Wheelhouse Brewing Company up for Growlie award

It's not just election season for politicians, Prince Rupert's
Wheehouse Brewing Company has been nominated for a Growlie
with online voting continuing through until October 22


When you're as far up the coast as the Wheelhouse Brewing Company, it's sometimes a little hard to get the attention of Vancouver and Vancouver Island's Craft Brewing aficionado's.

This month the North Coast brewery is trying to create a little elbow space at the bar with a nomination in one of twenty six categories listed on the ballot for the Growlie Awards.

The awards have been created to celebrate the explosion of the craft brewery industry across the province and the growing number of patrons that are exploring the range of taste sensations that are available throughout British Columbia.

Voting began on October 4th and will continue through until the 22nd of this month with the successful candidates who gained the most support to be noted in the online craft beer magazine the Growler as part of their Winter issue to be released on December 1st.

The categories include voting on a range of different brew options, as well as a number of categories related to styles of brew pubs across the province and how they deliver their message and advertising approach. Where you purchase your beer and the festivals you may attend also are up for voting in this years competition.

The Prince Rupert craft brewery is up against some strong competition from across the province in the Unsung hero category, included on the list of ten potential candidates are Northern British Columbia's Smithers Brewers and Crossroads Brewing in Prince George.
