St Austell Brewery has secured four medals at the World Beer Awards, including a gold for Big Job double IPA.
Big Job was named country winner and gold medal winner in the imperial/double IPA category. Proper Job IPA and Mena Dhu stout both won silver medals, while korev lager earned a bronze.
St Austell Brewery also came third in the Alpha King Challenge this month. The competition, run by 3 Floyds Brewing, saw more than 80 breweries from across Europe enter to be ranked among the world’s greatest hoppy beers.
The British Bottlers’ Institute revealed the winners of its annual BBI Awards in July, with St Austell earning silver for its flagship Tribute pale ale and Big Job double IPA, while korev lager was awarded a diploma.
St Austell brewing director, Georgina Young, said: “We are proud to be representing Cornwall on the world stage again this year. Earning national and international recognition from industry experts is the result of many years of hard work from our brewers and beer quality experts.
“Although I recognise that these beers were created before I joined the brewery in 2019, my team and I continue to push the boundary on continuous improvement and raise the bar on quality across all our beers, from grain to glass.
“The fact that we’ve won eight awards in the past month reflects the dedication and talent of our teams in Cornwall and Bath. I’m very proud of them and the journey that we’re on together.”
