The award-winning West Wales brewer Evan-Evans has done it again. Cwrw, the premium ale brewed by Evan-Evans of Llandeilo, has been awarded the Bronze medal at the brewing industry’s ‘Oscars’, the International Awards 2011, held in Burton-on-Trent.
This is the third major award that the Cwrw brand has won in the last 18 months.
Cwrw is now widely accepted as being one of the very best beers in Wales and ranks consistently as one of the top three best bitters in the UK, in cask and bottle.
The International Brewing Awards are the world’s oldest brewing industry prizes.
Evan-Evans chief executive Simon Buckley said: ‘This is an incredible achievement for our brewing team in Llandeilo and puts us not only at the top of the tree in Wales, but also right up there among the very best cask ale brewers in the world.
“The Best Bitter category is the most important category in the cask ale competition and I am extremely proud of my team’s efforts.
“It is a very proud moment for me and a great moment for Welsh brewing.
“This award will undoubtedly help sell Cwrw all around the world, with new trade partners in the US, South America and Continental Europe.”
The company will soon be making further announcements concerning the development of its brewery site and the acquisition of further pubs.
