The Cornish brewer’s Connoisseur’s Choice Spiced Red (9% ABV) and Cornish Coaster (3.6% ABV) beers were both named best in class. Spiced Red, a new addition to Sharp’s Connoisseur’s Choice range of premium bottled beers, won gold in the Strong Ale category. Cornish Coaster won gold in the category for Cask Ale 2.9% – 3.8% ABV.
Stuart Howe, head brewer at Sharp’s, said: “Every brewer dreams of getting an award at the IBA. It is the only brewing competition judged exclusively by professional brewers. To scoop four medals, two of which are gold, makes you feel on top of the world because, essentially, you are!”
