St Austell Brewery Scoops International Awards For Its Beers

St Austell Brewery has come away with an armful of awards for five of its beers at the prestigious World Beer Awards 2024.

The World Beer Awards celebrate international recognised beer styles and recognise the best in class, from across the globe.

Punchy Proper Job IPA (5.5% abv) which unveiled a fresh rebrand earlier this year, claimed a silver in the American style IPA, while Extra Special Tribute (7.4% abv) - crafted with all-British hops to celebrate the coronation of the King in 2023 - was also awarded a silver in the Barley Wine category.

Mena Dhu (4.5% abv), brewed with a blend of six different malts to create a deep and complex flavour, copped a bronze in the stout category and Bath Ales’ Gem (4.8%) - part of St Austell Brewery’s beer portfolio - claimed a bronze in amber beers. St Austell Brewery’s famous flagship pale ale, Tribute (4.2% abv), was presented an accolade in the golden ales category.

Georgina Young, brewing director for St Austell Brewery, said:

“It’s wonderful to see a breadth of our different beer styles being awarded in their respective categories. All our beers are brewed with passion by our talented production teams in Cornwall and Warmley, near Bath. As a result, our core beers continue to win national and international awards - in Tribute’s case, that’s 25 years on from when it was first brewed.”

This year’s competition witnessed the largest number of participants from all over the world and was described as a “truly an exciting journey” for the judging teams. They undertook the challenging task of carefully evaluating each beer, seeking out those exceptional brews that truly stood out from the rest.
