A good start to the year with a number of our breweries picking up awards for their beers at Regional SIBA Beer competitions. The beers below are across all beer genres and types of packaging, demonstrating great versatility in brewing methods, but mostly just how to brew good beer.
We also have a number of breweries as finalists at this year’s CAMRA Great British Beer Festival with their beers up for Champion Beer of Britain. Can’t wait for 6th August.
