Butcombe Brewing has won a host of accolades at a prestigious regional food and drinks awards ceremony.
Seven craft ales and lagers produced by the brewery, based in the village of Wrington, North Somerset, on the outskirts of Bristol, were recognised at this year’s Taste of the West Awards.
The company received five gold awards for its tipples Butcombe Original, Goram IPA Stateside Session IPA, Adam Henson’s Rare Breed Pale Ale and Bohemia Craft Lager.
It also scooped silver awards for Butcombe Gold and its Underfall Triple Filtered larger.
Marketing consultancy Taste of the West is the largest independent regional food group in the 海角视频 and was established to promote and support local food and drink producers in the South West.
Its annual awards aims to ensure high standards are maintained and that suppliers in the region are recognised for their work.
Dorset’s Purbeck Ice Cream, Somerset cheesemaker Godminster, Cornish pasty purveyors Ginsters and Thatchers Cider were among the other South West companies to win awards for their products.
Earlier this year Butcombe and its parent company the Jersey-based independent brewers the Liberation Group, were named the best managed pub company for operating an estate that spans across the South West and the Channel Islands.

Butcombe acquired 21 pubs across the region from Wiltshire brewer Wadworth in a deal financed by Liberation Group which added 140 rooms to its managed estate.
Marc McGuigan, Liberation Group’s managing director for brewing and distribution, said Butcombe’s success at the Taste of the West Awards paid testament to the “dedication, passion and genuine care” its brewing team put into their work.
Mr McGuigan said: “We’re all extremely proud of our brewing teams who, under our excellent head brewer Mike Jordan, have done an amazing job brewing some wonderfully tasteful beers and lagers.
“They work incredibly hard behind the scenes and haven’t stopped brewing despite lockdowns and other difficulties over the past 18 months.”
