The brewery won Gold and Silver in the Overall Champions judging, where all of the day’s category winners across a broad range of beer styles fight it out to be named the ‘best of the best’. Alex Balchin from Wold Top Brewery accepted the awards on behalf of the team;
“We are delighted to win these SIBA Regional awards. IT is a big team effort to consistently deliver top notch beers and to have the team’s efforts rewarded with a win is all the more gratifying.”
The judging was organised by the Society of Independent Brewers and Associates, taking place at the Triple Point Taproom in Sheffield, with winners from the judging available as part of a beer festival this weekend.
“In what was a superb day of judging in a great venue, I’d like to give a huge congratulations to all of the winners and particularly Wold Top who have grabbed a historic win with the Overall Gold and Silver given to their beers. In what was a tough judging with excellent beers across the board all of the medalists should be very proud of their achievement.” Andy Slee, SIBA Chief Executive, who was on hand to present the awards on the day.
