Brewers Gold named Best Beer in Britain for second time in a row
Brewers Gold, produced by Crouch Vale brewery in Essex, has been named the Best Beer in Britain for the second year in a row.
A panel of beer writers, brewers and journalists named the beer as the overall winner and it beat more than fifty finalists in eight categories at the Great British Beer Festival in London to the title.
Described as a "honey-toned golden ale, with grapefruit sharpness offset by suggestions of melon and pineapple" in the Good Beer Guide, its achievement is unprecedented in the history of the awards.
Roger Protz, one of the finalist judges and editor of the Good Beer Guide said: "It's a tremendous victory for a brewery committed to its cask beer and richly deserved."
The silver award went to Harveys brewery in Sussex for their Sussex Best Bitter. The bronze was awarded to Triple fff brewery in Hampshire for Moondance.
