This year's World Beer Challenge Awards have been given out and, although they will not be published until September, the Galicia-based brewery Hijos de Rivera has already offered a spoiler.
Their own 1906 brand – the premium label of the company Estrella Galicia – has swept the board, netting the maximum of 100 points and gold medals for three different versions.
The 1906 Special Reserve, the 1906 Red Vintage, and the black lager 1906 Black Coupage all achieved the highest number of points available and went home with gold medals, commemorative high-resolution labels for their bottles, and will get a full profile on the World Beer Awards site.
These awards, which take place in the UK, are granted based upon the opinions of 67 judges, 19 of whom are women, 44 of whom are British and the rest of whom come from Brazil, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Australia, Hong Kong, the Czech Republic, China, and Spain (Catalunya).
Last year, Cervezas Vandalia's Alazán Pale Ale won World's Best English-Style Pale Ale, and Voll-Damm's Oktoberfestbier/Maerzen won World's Best Lager (Seasonal).
