Oakham Ales are celebrating two awards for their Green Devil IPA, one from CAMRA’s Peterborough Beer Festival, the other from SIBA’s Eastern region Indie Beer Awards.

Green Devil is a stronger version of the brewer’s iconic Citra brew. It was awarded gold in the cask IPA category of the SIBA competition, and won silver overall in the cask ale category.
This was followed up by the news that Green Devil had been named the champion beer at Peterborough, beating off competition from more than 350 other beers.
“Peterborough Beer Festival is one of the biggest in the country, so to have Green Devil come out on top here, on our home turf, is absolutely fantastic,” said head brewer Ed Sharman.
“Despite its numerous award wins over the years, we’re continuing to tweak the Green Devil brewing process. Winning twice this week is a real testament to the team’s commitment to driving quality.”
