Turner Valley’s FAHR Wins Again at Prestigious World Beer Awards

Fahr’s World Beer Award total grows to six over the past four years as their Vienna Lager and Bavarian Hefeweizen capture silvers across two categories. 

TURNER VALLEY, AB, Aug 15, 2022 – Brewers from around the world compete for the prestigious World Beer Awards. Fahr’s Copper and Hefe have received high rankings and accolades on the International stage since 2019.
