SCOTTISH craft brewery Innis & Gunn has scooped four prize medals, including two golds, at prestigious beer competitions in the US and UK.
The brewery’s flagship brew, Original, picked up a gold medal in the hybrid/mixed beer style category at the New York International Beer Competition, and its Irish Whiskey Aged Stout received a silver medal in the Irish origin category at the same event.
The firm’s Rum Finish also won gold at the UK International Brewing Awards and its lager took home bronze at the International Smallpack Lager Competition.
Dougal Sharp, founder and master brewer, said: “This is truly great news from both sides of the Atlantic. These medals are a testament to the outstanding work we’ve put in.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
