Bristol-based Wiper and True have been named Brewery of the Year at the Brewers Choice Awards, also winning the Sustainability Champions title.

Wiper True Brewers Choice Awards

The awards are given by industry magazine The Brewers Journal, to recognise the diversity and quality of the UK craft beer and brewing scene.

Breweries are judged across a range of categories by an expert panel with a combined wealth of knowledge across the brewing sector.

“We’re absolutely delighted and incredibly proud to have been named Brewery of the Year, and are very grateful to the judges for recognising our commitment to sustainability with the Sustainability Champion’s award,” said founder Michael Wiper.

“These awards mean a huge amount to us, and give recognition to a team that’s been working so hard to achieve great things. The exciting thing for us is that we know this is just the beginning!”

The Wiper and True team have set themselves a target of reaching net zero by 2030. Efforts to achieve this so far include the installation of technology to allow for the capture and re-use of carbon dioxide, and covering the brewery roof in a 159kW array of solar panels.
