Harvey’s Brewery was named UK Brewer of the Year 2018 at the International Beer Challenge Awards in London this week, having secured the most points of any UK brewery in the medals table. Their tally included three Gold and three Silver awards. It was the second year in succession that the brewery has received this accolade.
Additionally, Harvey’s were named ‘Joint Supreme Champions’ in the Design & Packaging section of the competition for their Craft Can Range, which featured designs from local artist Susan Lynch. The brewery also received the New Product Trophy in the Design and Packaging Section for their ‘Tin Lizzie’, using a design by local artist Malcolm Trollope=Davis.
Head Brewer and Joint Managing Director, Miles Jenner commented
“It is always reassuring to have the quality of our local beers recognised on an international stage and we are all thrilled with the results. The Design and Packaging Trophies are an additional delight and a tribute to the flair of our local artists, in partnership with our marketing department. This year, we can certainly claim to be a local work of art!”
