Isle of Wight ale, Wight Christmas, wins gold medal in World Beer awards

Congratulations to Chris Coleman and his son Ashley at Island Brewery, who this week have been awarded a Gold Medal in the World Beer Awards.

Their ale, Wight Christmas – a chocolate flavoured beverage – fought off stiff competition from national brewers.

A spokesperson for Island Brewery told OnTheWight this morning,

“Island Brewery, a proud Isle of Wight brewery, brewer of Real Ales from a Real Island are excited to announce that their Seasonal Beer, Wight Christmas, has been awarded a Gold medal in the World Beer awards, beating National Brewers in a hard fought contest.

“The quality and taste of the beer shone through to earn this prestigious award.

“Well done to our Brewer Chris Coleman and his son Ashley for their attention to detail to enable us to produce consistent high quality beer for all our customers.”

Well done chaps for flying the flag for Island brewers and bringing world attention to the Isle of Wight.
