        I am stoked to crown Brasserie Sir John Brewing as the Haze Lord of 2023!
Yakima Chief Hops presents Vox&Hops Haze Wars took place this past Saturday at Kahnawake Brewing Company.

 - Number 2: Kahnawake Brewing
 - Number 3: Microbrasserie Jackalhop
 - Number 4: Brasserie du Bas Canada
 - Number 5: BG Brasserie Urbaine
 - Number 6: Toltèk Brasseur Artisan
 
And here are the results:
- Sir John Brewing- 26%
 - Toltèk- 24%
 - BG Brasserie Urbaine- 19%
 - Brasserie du Bas Canada- 13%
 - Kahnawake Brewing- 11%

As you can see, it was a tight race and a unique experience.
 
Massive cheers to Luc & the Yakima Chief Hops Crew for making this a reality, to all the breweries involved & to the Kahnawake staff for hosting this amazing event.
I’m stoked for Haze Wars 2024!
