Nelson: Loki Lager Garners Gold
The folks at Nelson Brewing Company are celebrating these days. Their popular Loki Lager recently won a Gold Medal for Best International Lager at the Canada Beer Cup, the craft beer industry’s equivalent to the Stanley Cup.
Nelson Brewing Company said about their win, “We’re still riding the high from our recent win at the Canada Beer Cup! Our classic craft lager, Loki, earned a GOLD medal in its category and even placed in the “best in show” category, taking home the BRONZE in the Canada Beer Cup. Let’s all raise a glass of Loki to celebrate!”
Loki is described as a low-key, but unforgettable crisp and clean beer, reimagined to be as epic as its namesake, and tastes like beer should. Nelson Brewing Company is owned and operated by Kate and Matt Walker.
