A Northumberland brewery has picked up its fifth award of the year at the recent International Beer Challenge.
The Twice Brewed Brewing Company, based at Bardon Mill next to Hadrian's Wall on the edge of Northumberland National Park, has had what it describes as a "bumper" year for its Juno Black beer. A Czech dark lager, it was awarded a Gold in the International Beer Challenge.
The competition received thousands of entries from more than 40 countries, with organisers boasting of a rigorous and unrivalled judging process carried out by 'some of the shrewdest beer judges in the land', including retailers, importers, publicans, brewers, writers and flavour analysts. It's the fifth award of the year for Juno Black; which took one of two silver awards at the World Beer Awards, gold at the SIBA North East Keg Beer awards, and another Gold at the SIBA National Keg Beer Awards.
