Stewart Brewing is celebrating after its Radical Road beer won the brewing prize at the Scotland Food and Drink Excellence Awards.
The brewer’s popular beer Radical Road fought off tough competition to win the Brewing award, which was introduced for the first time this year and is sponsored by Heriot Watt University.
Jo Stewart, co-founder of Stewart Brewing, said: “It’s such an honour to be recognised at this prestigious level, so we’re incredibly proud, especially when the competition was so strong.
“It’s been a huge team effort to get us to where we are today and it feels great to know all our hard work has paid off. Thanks so much to our customers and to Scotland Food and Drink for their continued support.”
Radical Road pours golden with long-lasting white foam. The nose is bursting with American hops; tonnes of pine, grapefruit and citrus combine to make a tantalising cocktail. The taste is medium bodied with long lasting smooth bitterness and an alcohol kick. Waves of hop flavour come from the triple hop brewing technique, which gives a complex flavour profile.
Radical Road is available in the Stewart Brewing brewery shop in Loanhead and the new Stewart’s Dockside Tap shop in Leith, as well as in select Edinburgh pubs and bars.
