  • Champion Beer of Britain 2024 announced Wednesday 23 October 2024

    The Supreme Champion Beer of Britain 2024 has been announced as...

    Crouch Vale 'Amarillo' - a 5.0% premium pale, described as “A superb premium golden ale with wonderful aromas of Amarillo hops and a lasting spicy and orangy flavour. Cara malt provides a little burnished colour, but the light body belies the beer’s strength. Dangerously drinkable!” The brewery are no strangers to the title, taking gold in 2005 and 2006 with ‘Brewers Gold’.

    Runners up in the supreme champion category were London’s Anspach & Hobday with ‘The IPA’ which they describe as “dank, resinous and fruit forward.” Taking 3rd place was Green Jack Brewery’s ‘Trawlerboys’, a best bitter they say is “rich and malty with fruity hop flavours.”
