Salcombe Brewery Co is celebrating a gold medal for its Pilsner (5.4% ABV) at this year’s European Beer Challenge.
This comes hot on the heels of a gold for Belgica, its small batch Belgian Pale Ale (5% ABV) at the regional SIBA (Society of Independent Brewers) Awards.
Salcombe Brewery managing director, Jordan Mace, said: “It is a tribute to our great brew team, led by Sam Beaman, that two of our newest beers, Pilsner and Belgica, have picked-up golds in two separate prestigious awards.
“We are passionate about consistently producing top-quality beers and offering our customers something different to try alongside our range of permanent beers. And these awards, judged by leading industry experts, are testament to the brew team’s hard work, creativity, and focus on quality.”
Salcombe Pilsner, which also won a gold at the 2022 Taste of the West Awards, uses the finest British malt and has a delicate floral and herbal aroma, derived from the noble Czech and German hops. The gentle malt flavour complements the bittersweet palate, culminating in a crisp, dry finish.
Belgica is a light amber beer that has a smooth malt base, gentle hop character, and bags of flavour from the yeast. It boasts a gentle, toasty, and nutty aroma from the malt, while the yeast brings an unmistakable spicy and fruity aroma to the beer with hints of pear drop and banana.
