St Austell Brewery has picked up five awards — two golds, two silvers, and a bronze — at the International Beer Challenge.
Divine Intervention (13% ABV) — the strongest beer the Cornish brewer has ever made — was awarded gold in the ales category for taste. Mena Dhu (4.5% ABV) also secured a gold in the stouts and porters category.
Hicks (5% ABV) — named after the brewery’s founder Walter Hicks — and gluten-free beer Wild Hare (5% ABV), took home silver awards. The brewery’s flagship ale, Tribute, came away with a bronze.
“To have such a variety of our beers recognised as best in class is a proud moment for me, the brewing team, and the company, as it enables us to showcase our commitment to innovation in brewing,” said St Austell brewing director Georgina Young.
“We are passionate about putting time and care into creating a variety of beers which delight, be it our smokey, rich, Mena Dhu stout and amazing quadruple, Divine Intervention, as well as recognising the quality of the beers from Bath Ales at Hare Brewery, where Wild Hare, our crisp, gluten-free pale ale was born and is brewed.”
