In the space of just one week, the team at Wold Top Brewery has picked up two awards and a place in the final of a regional food and drink awards for its coastal inspired beer.
Just days after being awarded a bronze medal at the International Beer Challenge, the Wold Newton brewery’s Scarborough Fair IPA was highly commended in the Great British Food Awards and has also been shortlisted in the best drink product category of Yorkshire Life magazine’s annual food and drink awards.
Kate Balchin, accounts and export manager at the brewery, said: “We’re very proud that Scarborough Fair has been acknowledged as an award-winning beer in two different competitions, and it would be fantastic if we were to win the treble with a Yorkshire Life award, too.”
Brewed from Wolds-grown malt, a blend of triple hops, maize and chalk-filtered water from the farm’s own borehole, Scarborough Fair IPA has previously won a 2-star gold in the Great Taste Awards from The Guild of Fine Food.
The results of the Yorkshire Life awards will be announced during an evening celebration hosted by TV news presenter Claire Montgomery on Monday, September 26, at Rudding Park in Harrogate.
