An unexpected pleasant surprise for the Stroud area after dominance by Inferno Brewery, Tewkesbury in recent years.
The TWAF Gloucestershire Winter Beer of the Festival was awarded, after a blind tasting, to the 4th Year Anniversary Porter from our very own The Fresh Standard.
A report from our trip out to the festival will be uploaded in the near future. Below are the top 3 as judged on Friday 7th February 2025:
1st The Fresh Standard Brew Co, Stroud – Anniversary Porter 8.0%
2nd Corinium Ales, Cirencester – Imperial Porter 8.5%
3rd Ashton Brewery, Cheltenham – Jaffa Cake 6.2%
