"The quality of beers across the competition was incredibly high so huge congratulations to all the great breweries named winners in their style category - with so many great beers in the running you should be truly proud of taking home the win. But I want to give particular praise to our two Overall Gold winners who were named the 'best of the best' in our final round judging - huge congratulations to Bragdy Twt Lol and Bragdy Cybi." said Anneli Baxter, SIBA
