This year’s awards were presented at BeerX in Liverpool last week by writer and broadcaster Pete Brown. Festival Glass, which has supplied glassware for Charles Faram events for many years, was announced as the winner of supplier associate of the year.
“We may not have won the trophy for supplierassociate of the year, but it is still amazing to have been a finalist and to have had brewers take the time to submit written votes and nominations,” said Charlie Gorham, Charles Faram’s PR and marketing manager.
“We are so pleased for Festival Glass as they provide quality products and are helpful and lovely people.”

As avid annual attendees of BeerX, the UK’s biggest beer and brewing trade event, the Charles Faram team were excited to hold an interactive session with a panel of esteemed brewers to discuss how you can utilise Charles Faram brand varieties in highly flavoured, bold, and modern beer styles.
They showcased how British hops are a cost-effective and environmentally favourable move for UK breweries, and how this doesn’t come at the expense of high impact flavour and aromas. The brewers also demonstrated how British hops can stand shoulder to shoulder with notorious big hitters from other countries to complement each other.
As big supporters of the event, Charles Faram sponsored the Hop Yard stage, which hosted two days of industry talks, initiative launches, tasting sessions, and their own over-subscribed panel session.
