A brewery which has been recognised by Prince William and Princess Catherine has collected several awards at the International Brewing & Cider Awards 2024.

Windsor and Eton Brewery has been awarded three Golds, one silver and one bronze medal in the awards, taking home a "haul" of medals.

In a glamorous award ceremony on May 1 at The Guidhall in London, the team at the brewery collected their awards alongside other winners.

The ceremony crowned 13 trophy winners – ten beers and three ciders – from 115 medal winners around the world in their respective categories.

In the UK, the only brewery with a Royal warrant to the castle, Windsor & Eton Brewery won The International Keg Lager trophy with its Capital Dry Hopped Lager

Now in its 138th year, the awards are the oldest and most respected such competition in the world.

The awards for Windsor and Eton Brewery included a Gold medal for “Capital” Lager in the draught Keg (2.9-4.7% ABV), Gold medal for “Diablo Rojo” Strong Belgian style Pale Ale (7-10%) and a Gold Medal for “Knight of the Garter” in cask conditioned (2.9-3.8% ABV).

They also achieved a Silver medal for “Father Thames” in cask conditioned (4.4 – 4.8% ABV) and a Bronze medal for “Shout” Session Pale ale in draught keg ( ABV)

Upon hearing about the win in March, Paddy Johnson, Production Director said: "It’s so pleasing to see our beers recognised yet again in such a prestigious competition and winning in this wide variety of classes is testament to the dedication and skill of our brewing team.

"We’re only a small brewery but this again shows that we match the best in the industry - both here in the UK and internationally, which our discerning customers appreciate so much.

"Times are tough in the industry and such endorsements of our quality therefore carry much weight."

Other winners included London’s Forest Road Brewing Company who received The International Cask Conditioned Ale trophy with WORK, and Melton-based Round Corner Brewing Ltd scooped The International Keg Ale trophy for their Drovers Hazy Session IPA.

A three-day judging process to decide the winners took place in March at Depot Mayfield in Manchester and comprised 38 working professionals in the brewing and cidermaking industries from across the globe.

Ruth Evans MBE, Director of the International Brewing & Cider Awards, said: “It’s been such an honour to continue to recognise the extraordinary beers and ciders across the world and celebrate all their achievements as they collected their awards at our ceremony this week.

“This year we received an unprecedented level of high-quality beers and ciders, making it one of the toughest competitions to judge to date."

The competition, which dates back to 1886, has a long history of championing the world’s best brewers and cider-makers, and its unique approach to the judging process sets it apart from other awards, earning it the reputation as the ‘Oscars’ of the brewing and cider world.
