Wadworth has won a silver medal at the International Brewing Awards for its golden gluten free ale, 6X Gold. 

The beer was recognised in the international speciality beer competition class for gluten-free brews. 

6X Gold is a hoppy and refreshing ale with sweet malt and spicy notes on the palate and a zesty citrus aroma. It is well known for its gluten free credentials and last year also became a vegan beer. 

Wadworth chief executive, Chris Welham, said: “6X Gold is becoming a well- recognised great beer across the board, whether you are gluten free or a fan of real ale.

“As a family brewer, we are delighted that it has been recognised by such an established international beer authority.”
