Bedlam Brewery took home a haul of four gold medals — including overall cask champion for Phoenix — at the SIBA South East Independent Beer Awards, in Tonbridge last week.
Bedlam Phoenix, Porter and Amagansett beers also won gold awards within their cask categories.
Operations manager, Oliver Marsh, said: “We’re incredibly proud to have beaten such tough competition to bring home a total of four medals from this South East competition.
“We were up against the likes of Hammerton, Redemption Brewing and Andwell Brewing, all of whom are really good, and we love what these guys are doing.”
Phoenix (3.9% ABV) is an extra pale American ale with some of the boldest US hops: Citra, Amarillo and Cascade. Top fermenting yeast used in many of the iconic American craft beers is imported and pitched to give its characteristic dry, soft, smooth and clean finish.
