We’ve topped the tables as one of the World’s 50 Best Beers!
Your favourite, crisp tasting New Zealand lager has come top of the class and won itself the equivalent of an Oscar at this years International Beer Challenge.
The challenge which has been running for the past 10 years, aims to award beers judged on taste and packaging and is decided upon by a panel of expert judges who include beer critics, current and former brewers, buyers, retailers and packaging specialists. The individual beers are placed into categories including beer strength and type, and can include anything from fruit beers to dark ales.
Beating off 50 other beers in our ‘4.3 – 5.5 ABV Lager’ category, we were lucky enough to win the ‘Best in Class’ award and were also named one of the ‘World’s 50 Best Beers’ overall from the 320 entries! When commenting on Monteith’s, the judges said it was, “the most stylish bottle in the competition” and when discussing the taste said, “the beer is one of the sweeter, rather than hoppier, lagers. It is easy to drink with a refreshing honeyed malt note and a little citrus to sharpen things up.”
A full breakdown of the ‘World’s 50 Best Beers’ and the winners of each class will be included in a dedicated supplement which will be distributed through a number of William Reed publication including OLN, The Grocer, The Morning Advertiser and Drinks International in November and December. Pick up your copy to hear more from the judges and find out who else we were up against.
After only 6 months in the UK market, we’ve got off to a great start and are really pleased to have won these fantastic industry awards and to be officially recognised as a world class lager. We’re very excited about what this means for Monteith’s and the opportunities it presents us with as we move forward into 2008.
