Bridge Road Brewers, have once again backed up their claim as having “some of the best ales in country”, in fact they could well claim some of the best in the world, with big success at this years Melbourne International Beer Awards.

The small Beechworth based brewery picked up 10 medals this year with awards spread throughout their broad range of beers. This small regional on operation has had strong and consistent success over their short brewing history. Established in 2005, Bridge road Brewers have expanded considerably with national distribution and a big range of more than 10 beers. The tally includes 3 silver medals and 7 bronze.

Brewer and owner Ben Kraus is happy with the beers recognition at this years competition. “Our consistent success at the Beer Awards across such a broad range of our beers shows us that we are doing our job well”. “This event is becoming more and more competitive with both domestic and international brewers upping their quality every year”. “The USA, considered the world leader of craft brewing, was well represented at this years competition, but the Aussie contingent managed to standup and keep a lot of the awards at home”,

The highly recognized competition is the second largest in the world and attracts a huge of array of local and international breweries.

Bridge Roads latest brew, the Chestnut Lager, entered for the first time at the awards also received a medal.

Bridge Road is already working on a beer which is sure to do well in next years competition. Their unique fresh hop harvest beer is currently brewing and will be released in the coming months.
