Celebration of the 2008 Eddies in Toronto, Edmonton & Calgary

The Big Rock Eddies is an Oscars-style gala celebration of everything Big Rock started in 1994 when Ed McNally, founder of Big Rock Brewery, had the innovative idea to have Big Rock fans make commercials for his local, independently brewed beer. Who better to spread the word about his beer than those who drink it! Guests dress in outrageous outfits and drink keep everyone energized throughout the night. This year the semi finals were held in Toronto for the first time, as well as Edmonton and the finale was in Calgary.

Here is the list of 2008 winners:
