Butcombe Brewery beat intense competition to take the title of Overall Brewery Business of the Year, announced at the SIBA BeerX event in Sheffield. Padstow Brewing Company won the Best Total Design Concept Award, as well as three out of the four top prizes for bottle label and pump clip padstow-pilot-pump-clipdesigns.

Julian Grocock, Chief Executive of SIBA said “Brewers who want to succeed in this competitive environment have to be good businesspeople as well as good brewers, employing a raft of skills from marketing and communication to design and customer support. Engagement with their local community and commitment to building a sustainable business are also rewarded in this Award scheme.
