West Australian brewers have again proven when it comes to beer they are a force to be reckoned with, knocking their eastern states competitors out of the contest, to claim the prestigious awards at the 2012 Perth Royal Beer Show.
The Billabong Brewery, Myaree, won the top award – The Premier’s Trophy for Best WA Beer of the Show, followed by the Beef and Beer Club of Perth Trophy for Best Commercial Beer of the Show, The Pall Australia Trophy for Best Wheat Beer Packaged as well as The Cryer Malt Trophy for Best Wheat Beer Draught.
Not to be outdone Swan Brewery laid claim to four awards including: Hopco Trophy for Best Commercial Brewery, The Sail and Anchor Trophy for Best WA Brewery, Edith Cowan University Trophy for Best Lager Packaged and the Lion Trophy for Best Reduced Alcohol Packaged.
South Australia’s McLaren Vale Beer Company walked away with the Cryer Malt Trophy for Best Lager Draught but it was back to the WA contenders to carry off the remaining awards.
The Beer and Brewer Magazine Trophy was presented to Gage Roads Brewing Co for Best Ale Packaged while The Monk Brewery and Kitchen picked up the Beer and Beef Club of Perth Trophy for Best Ale Draught.
The Old Coast Road Brewery took away two awards – the Edith Cowan University Trophy for Best Stout Packaged and The Hopco Trophy for Best Stout Draught and Generous Squire won The Clancy’s Fish Pub Fremantle Trophy for Best Reduced Alcohol Draught.
Amateur brewers made their mark too and in particular, The Brewmart Trophy for Best Amateur Beer of the Show and Best Ale was presented to Aaron Greengrass of Success, while Jeremy Sambrooks of Medina won the James Squire Trophy for Best Amateur Brewer, The Beer and Beef Club of Perth Trophy for Best Stout and The Beer and Beef magazine Trophy for Best Reduced Alcohol.
