Prize day for Warrior bitter
The growing Evan-Evans brewery, which is based in Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire, has continued an illustrious few years with yet another award. Its Warrior beer won silver in the Best Premium Bitter category at the Society of Independent Brewers awards for the South West and Wales at Ludlow Castle, Shropshire. This comes after their Cwrw beer was voted third best bitter in the world at the brewing industry's Oscars — the International Awards 2011. Evan-Evans chief executive Simon Buckley, whose family have brewed beer for 250 years, said: “We have achieved this because we are professional brewers. "We have a dedicated team here and we focus on quality.” The company now hopes to launch what Mr Buckley said would be Wales's first lager in more than 100 years.
