Bristol's Butcombe has won a gold medal rating at the first-ever World Alchohol Free Awards. Judging took place in London where a panel of experts from the US and Europe flew to the UK to judge alcohol-free products, from wines, spirits and beers to teas and aperitivos - all with an alcohol level of 0.5 per cent ABV or lower.
Butcombe Brewing Co’s Goram IPA Zero was one of just 51 companies handed a gold medal rating from more than 400 entrants from 20 counties. Goram IPA Zero is described as an easy-to-drink and refreshing non-alcoholic beer made with a blend of UK, USA and New Zealand hops to give both a fruity and bitter flavour profile.
Marc McGuigan, the group's managing director, said: “2023 has been a great year already for our Goram IPA Zero with yet another trophy for the cabinet! Our brewing team consistently innovate and adapt, ensuring we have products that appeal to modern tastes and lifestyles that are authentic and taste great.”
