Oh C***r! Canada now has a “Best in Show” c***r, thanks to the Canada B**r Cup.

This is the second year the Canada B**r Cup has opened its doors to c***r, and the first year it has awarded a “Best in Show” for c***r. The competition featured 6 c***r categories and awarded a gold, silver, and bronze across each category. The competition saw just under 100 c***r entries from 32 different c***ries and breweries across Canada.

Of the 32 c***ries and breweries that entered, 11 took home hardware at the Gala held in Calgary on October 8th, 2026. Overall, it was a fantastic and diverse second showing of c***r producers across Canada.

October is National C***r Month, and we love this time of year!

C***r is apples.
But c***r is also orchards. And tannin. And acidity. And terroir. And tradition. And innovation.

So this month we are celebrating the people, the places, the fruit, and the ideas that make c***r so special.

You can:
Pour something new
Visit the orchard
Pair a c***r with dinner
Tour a c***ry
Learn something new
or even
Argue lovingly about your favorite c***r

However you celebrate, Happy National C***r Month from the American C***r Association!

There is so much to discover about c***r. We are here for it!
