Black Sheep Brewery has again gained international recognition after collecting one gold, one silver, and three bronze medals at the International Beer Challenge.
Executive director Jo Theakston, head brewer Dan Scott Paul, and chief executive Charlene Lyons celebrate Black Sheep’s International Beer Challenge success
Cry Wolf, a punchy black IPA which launched earlier this year, took the gold. It’s described as “a fierce bite of roasted malt fused with the gnarly, tropical bitterness of new world hops”.
There was a silver medal for one of the brewery’s most popular and awarded brews, Black Sheep Ale, and a bronze for Milk Stout, which was also the country winner in the milk stout category at the World Beer Awards.
There were also International Beer Challenge bronze medals for Interrobang and 54 Lager.
Black Sheep chief executive, Charlene Lyons, said: “To gain international recognition at two highly regarded beer awards is not just a huge honour, but is testament to the hard work and dedication of our brewing team here in Masham, who continue to innovate and create world-class flavour combinations for beer lovers to enjoy for any occasion.
“Since our founding in 1992, we have continued to take a stand against bland beer through innovating new, progressive, and bold beers, so to be recognised across various categories for five different brands really is something special.”
