Silver trophy winner, 2014 Ontario Brewing Awards

April 4, 2014 — Lake of Bays and the NHL Alumni Association are proud to announce that Top Shelf Classic Lager has received a silver trophy for best North American Lager at the 2014 Ontario Brewing Awards.

Brewed in partnership with the NHL Alumni Association, Lake of Bays’ Director of Field Marketing and Event Management Mitch Kacsmar was on-hand to receive the hardware at a ceremony held on Thursday April 3 at the Gladstone Hotel in downtown Toronto.

“When Lake of Bays became the official brewery of the NHL Alumni Association last June, we began talking about develop a lager that would be the go-to for craft beer drinkers and mainstream beer drinkers alike,” said Mitch. “Since Top Shelf was released into the market in October we’ve had great feedback; people love it, sales are great, and it’s had solidly enthusiastic reviews. But to me, this award makes if official. Top Shelf is a lager that everyone can love.”
