Intuition was awarded a gold medal in the keg alcohol-free (up to 0.5% ABV) category, and Scarborough Fair IPA won in the keg IPA (5.6% to 7.4% ABV) category.
As category champions, both beers will now go forward to the national finals of the Indie Beer Awards at BeerX, in Liverpool in March.
“Winning gold at the Indie Beer Awards North East is a fantastic achievement and a real testament to the breadth of talent, skill, and expertise within our brewing team,” said Alex Balchin, Wold Top Brewery director.
“To be crowned category champion for both our alcohol-free beer and our strongest beer demonstrates the versatility of our brewers and their ability to produce outstanding beers across the full spectrum.
“In changing economic times, it’s more important than ever to support our region’s independent manufacturers and retailers, and we’re grateful to SIBA for helping to promote small, independent breweries like Wold Top.”
Intuition is a low-alcohol, hop-forward pale ale with citrusy notes and fruity hits. Scarborough Fair IPA (5.6% ABV) is a balance of lightly-toasted malts and citrus hops which give a subtle flavour which pairs well with food. Both beers are gluten-free and vegan.
