Epic Success At BrewNZ Awards
Epic Brewing Co. has again received top honours at the 2011 BrewNZ Beer Awards. At the awards dinner on Thursday night, Epic Armageddon IPA won Trophy in the US Ale Style class, an honour it has received every year since its launch. Epic also received Silver medals for their Lager, Pale Ale and Oak-Aged Stout, and Bronzes for the Barrel-Aged IPA and Stout, showing they are still the master of hop-fueled beers.
Epic has a history of success at the awards, wowing the judges with their hoppy creations. In 2006, the first year Epic submitted entries, Epic Pale Ale won Supreme Beer, an amazing achievement for a new brewery. Since then, the Pale Ale has medalled every year, with Epic Mayhem and Lager also taking top honours, in addition to the on-going success of Armageddon.
Kelly Ryan, Master of Brewing at Epic Brewing Co, credits their success with their uncompromising attitude to flavour. ‘It is essential to never compromise when it comes to the quality of ingredients in creating massive flavours,’ he says. 'And it's great to be rewarded for doing so.'
In light of this recent success, Epic is also happy to announce that their latest batch of Barrel-Aged IPA will go on sale this week. Available from bottle stores and supermarkets around the country, this new batch of Barrel-Aged IPA has delicate vanilla oak flavours and a burst of fresh mandarin.
