It’s so nice year on year to see brewers we have worked with (highlighted in bold below), do well in beer competitions at both regional and national level, and this year’s SIBA National competition was no exception. Just to make it to the finals is an accolade in itself and to know you are amongst the best of the best is usually just reward for all the hard worked put in by the brewing team in maintaining great quality and consistency week in week out.

We were particularly please to see Purple Moose Brewery from Porthmadog in North Wales pick up the Gold Award in the speciality cask beer category with Ysgwyn (Elderflower) Ale. It is certainly a great beer and very well deserved and adds to the many other awards the brewery has collected in this, its twentieth year. Also north of the border, Fyne Ales is often in the top echelon of breweries and regularly collects awards for its large range of beers and this year it picked up an overall Gold in the bottle and can category for one of its Mills and Hills range of beer. It also demonstrates the breweries who maintain quality and consistency down the years will always be in with the awards.
