SIBA brewers took a healthy haul of medals from the recent International Brewing and Cider Awards, with Oakham Ales winning the Championship Cask Conditioned Ale trophy for the second time with its Green Devil IPA.
A total of 30 medals went to SIBA members, who gathered along with brewers and cider makers from all over the world at London’s Guildhall on 29 April for the unveiling of the Championship winners in the International Brewing and Cider Awards 2015.
The ceremony, which marked the end of the 2015 competition, was attended by more than 400 people. As well as the presentations to the 10 Championship winners, Bronze, Silver and Gold medals were given to more than 100 brewers and cider makers.
The International Brewing and Cider Awards 2017 will be held in Burton-upon-Trent in February 2017. Entries will open in August 2016.
