Salcombe Brewery Co has seen both its Lifesaver and Island Street Porter beers win gold at the SIBA South West Regional Beer Awards.
The latter also picked up a silver in the champion cask category and a best in class award.
“These awards are a fantastic reward for the hard work that the team at Salcombe Brewery has put into producing top class beer,” said head brewer Sam Beaman.
“We are delighted with Lifesaver’s gold and ecstatic with Island Street Porter’s three awards, which make it our most decorated beer to date!
“Last year it won gold and best porter at the World Beer Awards and it is great to see that SIBA has recognised its world class qualities too!”
Island Street Porter (5.9% ABV) is a velvety, delicately bitter porter with just a hint of sweetness. Eight different malts combine to suggest dark chocolate, coffee, and black cherry, while the aroma suggests Black Forest gateau.
Lifesaver (4.8% ABV) is a deep chestnut coloured ale with a sweet chocolatey aroma. The use of torrefied wheat brings body and depth to the sweet malty ale.
