TORONTO, ON – The Canadian division of Innis & Gunn has announced the winner of its first annual Imagine & Gunn competition, a promotion that “invites Canadians to create the next flavour innovation for the Scottish brewer.”
Don Guimond’s Black IPA with Coconut and Rhubarb won an online vote from a shortlist of eight proposed styles that were selected by Innis & Gunn from thousands of entries submitted from all across the country.
As the winner, Don Guimond – a homebrewer from Grand Bay-Westfield, NB – will be flown to Scotland next year to brew his beer along with the Innis & Gunn team. It will be aged in bourbon barrels prior to a cross-Canada release next autumn.
