We were thrilled to be awarded the title of Champion Small Brewery at the recent Perth Royal Beer Awards for 2024 - run by the Royal Agricultural Society of WA (RASWA).
In addition to the coveted title, we also won Best India Pale Ale (Packaged) for In the Pines – Hazy IPA and Best India Pale Ale (Draught) for River Dog – West Coast IPA and a relatively new addition to our range – making it a clean sweep for the IPA category on the night.
Co-Owner, Iliya Hastings said “the most gratifying thing from the award wins, is that you have some acceptance that the beers that you brew are recognised as some of the best in Australia. And that is a pretty nice realisation, as we have never taken anything we do as a brewery for granted.”
“Whist we've always loved our beers, with the team we now have in place the new brewery we have chugging along and our ongoing commitment to making every ‘next beer’ the best we have made - I think the beers have gone to another level.” Iliya said.
"Picking up Champion Small Brewery title has given us an opportunity to stop and reflect a little and look back at our awesome journey. It’s also a chance to thank every single person that has cracked one of our beers over the wood at the Brewhouse, to the punters that walk out of their local bottlo with our beer under their arms, to all the great crew that have worked with us to build our brewery and venue, to all the amazing people we have met in the craft beer industry - it reminds us of where we started and why we do this - because we love it.” Iliya said.
These award wins come off the back of a recent Trophy win at the Australian International Beer Awards in Melbourne for In The Pines - titled Australians Best Modern Pale Ale.
