On Friday 8th October Fierce Beer was awarded the prestigious title of ‘Scottish Brewery of the Year’ at the 6th annual Scottish Beer Awards, sponsored by Aldi.
. Along with winning the top prize at the ceremony held at DoubleTree by Hilton in Glasgow, Fierce Beer also collected 10 medals which included a record-breaking 6 golds. The team also collected the prize for ‘Product Development Team of the Year’ thanks to the focus and introduction of a core range of beers and sales strategies during the Covid-19 pandemic to allow phenomenal growth and quality of their beer range.
Dave Grant, MD Of Fierce Beer said ‘It is outstanding to be recognised for our efforts, especially after such a tough year for all – and amongst such prestigious company. Our dedication to innovation and quality drives us forward each day, and we are so lucky to have such an amazing team here at Fierce Beer. Huge thanks to the organisers, sponsors and judges for pulling everything together.’
Earlier this year the 34 expert judges participated in a blind tasting and all entries were marked on quality, appearance, and flavour without prior knowledge or any information to identify the beers or brands that they were sampling.
