Round Corner Brewing has claimed seven medals at the European Beer Challenge, with Steeplechase Pale Ale picking up a double gold in the American-style pale ale category.
The Melton Mowbray brewery entered seven of its beers into the awards, and all seven beers gained a medal.
Steeplechase Pale Ale’s double gold sits alongside its world’s best ale and gold medal from the 2021 International Brewing Awards.
In addition to Steeplechase’s success, Drovers Hazy Vermont session IPA, Gunmetal black lager, Hopping Spree West Coast IPA, and Mainland New Zealand pilsner all brought home a gold medal in their respective categories.
There was also a silver medal for Frisby Lager and a bronze medal for Saint Cloud Belgian Style Witbier.
“As soon as the news came in, I let the whole team know how proud of them I am, with this achievement being no small feat,” said Round Corner Brewing head brewer and co-founder, Colin Paige. “It’s the ultimate validation for us to win at these awards, where we’re up against some incredible breweries from all over Europe.
“For Steeplechase to win a double gold, it backs up the already impressive awards it has to its name, such as champion ale at the International Brewing Awards, where we were the first brewery outside of America to win the award in 17 years.
“With each beer being judged blindly, seven medals is a phenomenal haul, with it being all about the quality of the liquid. This is something we should pat ourselves on the back for and celebrate over a beer this evening. It really validates all the hard work the team put in day in, day out.”
Chief executive and co-founder, Combie Cryan, said: “For these awards you can only enter small-pack product, so no keg product is allowed, and for all four of our canned core range beers to win a medal showcases why we have them available all year round.
“Also, our Market Editions winning helps support these successful beers. For us, Saint Cloud winning a bronze medal after its first ever brew is incredible, and we knew how much customers enjoyed this beer, so it helps validate this.”
