Melton Mowbray based Round Corner Brewing is celebrating picking up five medals at the 2024 European Beer Challenge, staged in London.
This included a double gold medal in the category for standard pale ale/bitter for Steeplechase, for a second consecutive year.
Another standout achievement was a gold medal for Market Pale in the same standard pale ale/bitter category. At the start of 2024, this beer became Round Corner Brewing’s core range cask beer and was only made into a tank-conditioned can and keg version for the first time in February. This was the first outing for Market Pale in tank-conditioned canned form.
Also picking up gold medals were Follow The Green Line, a New Zealand pale ale, and Drovers, a hazy pale ale. There was a silver medal for lager Frisby.
“We are delighted to have received this recognition from such a highly regarded competition, where beers from all over the world are judged by Europe’s leading beer buyers,” said head brewer Lara Lopes.
“To have every beer which we entered win a medal is an amazing feat. And for Steeplechase to win double gold two years running really shows how committed we are to brewing consistently high-quality beers, day in and day out…
“I’m very proud of the amazing team we have built here at Round Corner Brewing, and these awards are testament to everyone’s relentless efforts and hard work.”
Head of sales, George Tims, added: “Alongside the medals and wonderful assessments given to our beers, we’re making Round Corner Brewing beer more accessible throughout the UK in draught and cans, in more pubs, venues, and stores.
“So, to win five awards at the European Beer Challenge, and our beer being available in more venues across the UK, fits perfectly with our vision of making uncommonly good beer accessible to all, through brewing great balanced beers, branding them well, and pricing them fairly.”
