Powell River brewery wins national award

POWELL RIVER, B.C. – Powell River’s own Townsite Brewing was on the receiving end of national accolades on Wednesday.

The brewery walked away with a win in the ‘Processor’ category at The Laurel Gala held at the Pinnacle Harbourfront Hotel in Vancouver.

The gala was held yesterday at the Pinnacle Harbourfront Hotel where the Economic Development and Employability Network (RDÉE Canada) highlighted the excellence of Francophone entrepreneurs working in official language minority communities in Canada.
