Many congratulations to our Head Brewer and Joint Managing Director, Miles Jenner, who was recognized with the prestigious Roger Ryman Lifetime Achievement Award at the Brewers Choice Awards last week.
The award, which is supported by industry peers, looks to honour brewers who have shaped the industry around them, supported others on their journey and strengthened the UK brewing scene.
Mark Tranter, brewer and founder of Burning Sky Brewery, presented the award and had the following to say about Miles:
"This year's lifetime achievement award is being given to someone who has dedicated their entire working life to the brewing industry. Not only that but 45 years to one brewery where they are the custodian of somewhere truly magical - a brewery I have been privy to visit on numerous occasions.
The energy of this person is far greater than that of many people half their age - their passion, dedication and belief in what they do is inspirational, their knowledge seemingly bottomless.
He is a wonderful orator, a historian, a gentleman in the truest sense of the word and, of course, a fine brewer. His joie de vivre never ends and I am lucky enough to see him, not just as a peer but as a friend - a friend who remains an inspiration."
Congratulations to Miles for this well-deserved recognition of his remarkable contributions to the brewing industry.
