Yorkshire’s Black Sheep Brewery is celebrating multiple accolades at this year’s World Beer Awards and International Beer Challenge.
The brewery’s Milk Stout (4.4% ABV) retained its crown as world’s best milk stout for the second consecutive year. It also picked up country winner and gold in the World Beer Awards milk stout category, alongside a bronze in the International Beer Challenge stout and porter category.
Black Sheep’s Riggwelter, the brewery’s flagship strong dark ale, was awarded country winner and gold in the World Beer Awards strong dark ale category, as well as bronze in the International Beer Challenge dark ale category.
“We are thrilled to see our beers recognised on the international stage,” said Dave Sharples, marketing manager at Black Sheep Brewery.
“Our brewing processes are built around the best ingredients and methods — including using fresh Dales water, which is naturally filtered through the limestone aquifers beneath the Yorkshire Dales, giving our beers their signature crisp, clean finish.
“To see iconic Yorkshire beers like Riggwelter and Milk Stout honoured again, and for Milk Stout to be named world’s best for a second year running, is a testament to the consistency, skill, and passion of our brewing team. It underlines our commitment to quality and our position as a leading cask and bottled beer brand.”
