The results from the Melbourne Royal Australian International Beer Awards are in and we're stoked to see a couple of favourites win big!!
Hanging Rauch was named Best European Style Lager and overall Champion Australian Independent Beer. The beer means a lot to us and was actually one of the very first beers we ever brewed.
“We put that success down to the skill and consistency of our brewing team, and the quality processes they’ve built around every beer we make. Hanging Rauch is a beer that demands balance, precision and restraint - too much smoke and it’s overwhelming, too little and it loses its soul.” - Guy Greenstone, Stomping Ground Co-Founder
We’re also proud to share that our latest can release Czech Dark Lager picked up a GOLD medal!!
A big thank you to the AIBA judges and organisers. See a full list of the awards from this year below.
Cheers 🍻
