It’s an award-winning quarter for the Briarbank
The first quarter of 2024 has been an award-winning quarter for our hand-crafted beers here at the Briarbank, and we couldn’t be happier.
After successfully picking up a gold award at the 2023 SIBA East Independent Beer Awards in January for Hop to It, our DDH IPA was entered into the SIBA National Independent Awards 2024. Our head brewer headed to BeerX in Liverpool on 14 March to see where Hop to It would place against some of the UK’s best independent brewers.
After a day of talking beer and catching up with friends old and new, it was time to get down to the awards, and we’re delighted to say Hop to It was awarded silver in the category Keg IPA.
Hop to It forms part of our core beer range, and it’s amazing that it has been recognised on both a regional and national level. But let us tell you more about it. It’s a DDH IPA with huge additions of Simcoe and Mosaic, a fruity hop blast, backed by hints of pine and resin.
Hop to It isn’t the only beer from our range to pick up a national award. In 2022, Mocha Porter was awarded gold at the National Independent Beer Awards in the category Bottle/Can Speciality Mid to Dark Beers – another of our core range.
Now, in our eleventh year of brewing, we’d like to thank all our customers for their continued support. Without you, we couldn’t do what we love.
If you’d like to try our award-winning Hop to It Beer, you’ll find it on tap in our upstairs tap room and in our sister venue, Isaacs on the Quay. Plus, don’t forget, you can purchase it in cans via our online shop, meaning you can enjoy it in the comfort of your own home.
