Jeff Evans, IBC Chairman commented “It’s been a fantastic year in the competition for Harvey’s. No fewer than three of its beers won trophies and justly so. The brewery has long been held in high regard among many beer lovers and the results of this year’s International Beer Challenge reveal why. Many congratulations to Miles Jenner and the team.”
In addition to the product taste medals and trophies, the IBC also rewards the brewers who make the beers, alongside the people who import and sell them. The IBC recognises their achievements in a series of special awards, based on performances in the competition.
The awards are decided by the accumulation of medals, each of which – be it gold, silver or bronze - carry a point score, enabling the IBC to name the most successful brewery, retailer and distributor. In light of this, Harvey's Brewery were also named UK Brewer of the Year 2021.
Harvey's Head Brewer and Managing Director, Miles Jenner commented:
"In a year during which we have had to rationalise and work as a much smaller team, we can barely contain the excitement we feel in the light of these awards.
To be judged Supreme Champion among so many worthy contenders is simply astonishing.
To be named UK Brewer of the Year during such tempestuous times is a tribute to the entire company.
It has fortified us for the challenges we face."
