Wickwar Brewing Co - The Best Of The Cotswolds - Award Winning Beers and Real Ale

Wickwar Brewing Co, Gloucestershires largest independent brewery, brew the best beer in the land

Not only was our ‘Station Porter’ voted the supreme CAMRA Champion Winter Beer of 2008, but ‘Station Porter’ was voted the Champion Beer of Britain Bronze Award, at the Great British Beer festival, the biggest beer festival in the UK held every year at Earls Court in London.

Ray Penny, Wickwar’s founder and Managing Director, said “this is turning out to be a fantastic year for all of us at Wickwar. To be awarded such a prestigious award for a supposedly winter beer, in the middle of summer, just epitomises the total drinkability of our beers, combined with the unique taste profiles and the combination of quality local ingredients.

WICKWAR BREWING CO UPHOLDS THE QUENCHING OF THIRST FOR ANOTHER YEAR

The weather was kind to us all over the week-end of May 30th. The crowd was even larger this year than last year and boy were they thirsty. “Wickwar Brewing Co always seems to be able to serve a great pint in the middle of a field” was one comment that I over heard.

We had changed our strategy slightly this year, which meant that it was easier to administer the Wickwar ale and fizzy stuff, not forgetting the well acclaimed ‘Wickwar Screech’ which was asked for by name over and over again. The chant became “Screech for some Screech” and they did. Not forgetting the other quaffable beverage ‘Stagefrieght’ now a firm favourite at Wychwood Music festival.
