The competition – attracting over 1000 entries from 200+ breweries and cider mills from around world – was judged by an international panel of 50 judges.
Cider categories included different fruit varieties, hopped and ice ciders, as well as judging across sweet and dry styles.
An International Brewing & Cider Awards medal is considered among the industry’s most coveted awards. It runs every two years.
Established in 1888 – and evolving to reflect an ever-changing beer and cider industry – the International Brewing & Cider Awards aims to recognise the innovation, attention to detail and hard work that goes into beer and cider production.
Allen Hogan said he was absolutely thrilled to be awarded these prestigious medals. The win follows on from a Gold Medal awarded at the last International Brewing and Cider Awards in 2017 for Killer Sharp in Draught.
Ruth Evans MBE, Director of Brewing Technology Services who oversee the awards, said:
“It brings me great pleasure to announce the medal winners, and no small measure of pride to be involved in our fantastic industry.
These awards are a bastion of excellence, and we are always sincerely impressed by the talent of the medal winners.
With each round of awards, the standards are pushed ever higher. Competition is fierce, and receiving a medal is an achievement to be truly proud of. My congratulations to all!”
