A traditional best bitter from Long Man Brewery, in East Sussex, has been named overall champion of SIBA’s South East cask beer competition. Halo, by Hackney Church Brew Co, was named champion in the separate keg beer awards.
The competition saw breweries from across Greater London and South East England battle it out across a huge range of beer style categories. It was organised by the Society of Independent Brewers and Associates (SIBA), and took place at the Big Penny Social, in Walthamstow, London.
SIBA’s Megan Brecken organised the awards and was on hand to congratulate the winners.
She said: “There were some great winners across the awards this year, so huge congratulations to everyone that took home a medal, particularly our gold medal winners and, of course, this year’s overall champions, Long Man and Hackney Church Brew Co.”
Gold winners from the awards will now go forward to the national finals at BeerX in Liverpool, in March 2025.
