St Austell Brewery’s flagship lager, korev, has been named best international small pack lager in the world at the International Brewing Awards.
Brewed in the Helles style, korev (4.8% ABV) scooped two gold medals for international small pack lager (4.5%-4.9% ABV) and international keg lager (4.5%-6.9% ABV).
It went on to be named overall champion in the international small pack lager category, in which it was shortlisted alongside three other award-winning international brews.
The brewery was also awarded gold for Monterey Pale Ale, brewed by Bath Ales — which St Austell acquired in 2016 — and silver for Proper Job IPA.
Andrew Turner, managing director, St Austell Brewery beer and brands, said: “We’re so proud to be representing Cornwall on the world stage. It’s very special to have been awarded a gold medal for korev. To go on and be named best in class, in the small pack lager category, is a huge honour.
“The five medals we’ve been awarded are a culmination of many years of hard work and reflect the dedication and talent of our brewing teams in Cornwall and Bath.”
