ABBOT ALE WINS TWICE...
ABBOT ALE WINS TWICE IN CHAMPION BEER OF BRITAIN AWARDS 2023
Abbot Ale celebrated last month after winning gold and silver titles in the Champion Beer of Britain Awards at the Great British Beer Festival, which took place at Olympia London.
Abbot Ale, renowned for its well-loved fruit character, malty richness and superb hop balance, scooped gold in the Premium Bitters category and silver in the Supreme Champion category. We first brewed Abbot Ale in 1951, It was created by the head brewer at the time, Bernard Tickner MBE, who passed away at the age of 93 in 2017.
The brewing process has hardly changed in over 70 years. Taking seven days to craft the perfect pint of Abbot Ale, it is a beer to savour and relax with.
The Champion Beer of Britain Awards are one of the most prestigious beer competitions in the world and are the ultimate honour for UK brewers. The winning beers are awarded every year at the Trade Session of the Great
British Beer Festival. Judging for the competition takes around a year, starting with individual nominations from CAMRA members and local and regional competitions. On the first day of the festival, a team of judges have their final round to decide the winners for the year.
Emma Hibbert, Head of Marketing for Abbot Ale said: “We are delighted to have secured these two titles for Abbot Ale, giving this beer the recognition it deserves. It is also a testament to the passion, care and knowledge of our brewers who continue to create this delicious beer for everyone to savour and we hope it will continue to be as much-loved long into the future.”
