Hall & Woodhouse has won a gold medal for its Milk Made Stout at the International Brewing Awards (IBA).
Milk Made is a 5.2% ABV bottled milk stout with layers of chocolate, vanilla, and coconut. It won gold in the speciality beer class recognising brews with special features.
Launched in 2020, Milk Made is one of several new beers created under Hall & Woodhouse’s NPD (new product development) programme. These are designed to complement the core Badger Beers brand.
There were also IBA accolades for two Badger cask ales — a gold for Red Roaster and a silver for Fursty Ferret.
Hall & Woodhouse drinks marketing manager, Matt Woodhouse, said: “Milk Made is the first dark beer we’ve brewed in Blandford for some years. We think it’s ‘udderly’ delicious, but it’s great to have that confirmed by the expert IBA judges.
“We have hugely experienced and talented brewing teams working on all our beers, and, of course, it’s equally gratifying for the IBA to recognise the quality and craft of our cask range.
“It’s an exciting time for Hall & Woodhouse, as we continue to develop new and innovative craft beers that complement our established strength as a brewer of fine traditional bottled and cask ales.
“We have exciting NPD plans for 2022, to appeal to new and existing Badger Beers drinkers, and it’s great to be going into a busy new year with these prestigious awards under our belt.”
