When in the UK, you may want to add the town of Bristol to your itinerary. The 3 hour drive from London will take you to Wiper and True Brewery and Taproom, the recipient of the ‘Brewery of the Year’ at the recent Brewers Choice Awards in London.
The awards are given by industry magazine The Brewers Journal to recognize the diversity and quality of the UK craft beer and brewing scene. Breweries are judged across a range of categories by an expert panel with a combined wealth of knowledge across the brewing sector.
Wiper and True sells its beers across most of the UK in both on-premise and off-premise accounts. It also sells its beers direct to consumer via its web site.
“We’re absolutely delighted and incredibly proud to have been named Brewery of the Year, and are very grateful to the judges for recognizing our commitment to sustainability with the Sustainability Champion’s award,” said Wiper and True founder Michael Wiper in a statement. “These awards mean a huge amount to us and give recognition to a team that’s been working so hard to achieve great things. The exciting thing for us is that we know this is just the beginning!”
The brewery has also recently won a Great Taste Award for their flagship pale ale Kaleidoscope and a gold medal at the World Alcohol-Free Awards 2024 for an alcohol-free version of Kaleidoscope.
