CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain

On the 7th August 2007 Hobsons Brewery was presented with the most prestigious award in the industry - Hobsons Mild was named Champion Beer of Britain at the 30th Great British Beer Festival at Earls Court.

We knew it was a good beer but didn't think a traditional style of Mild could win the national title, when Roger Protz announced the most deserving winner by the biggest margin was Hobsons Mild we were absolutely overwhelmed.

Hobsons Mild was judged to be the best beer in Britain by a panel of brewers, beer writers and journalists, from over fifty finalists in eight categories including beers from tiny micros to major regional brewers. Roger Protz, one of the finalist judges and Editor of the Good Beer Guide said: "It's a great victory for a traditional British beer. It's bursting with flavour and, unusually for a Mild, it's got plenty of hop character. "It's great to see a classic copper coloured beer take the top award."

The team at Hobsons is incredibly proud of their achievements, Mild has gone on to win many local and regional awards, click here to view ful list.
