Cisk’s Alcohol-Free Lager Awarded Prestigious International Award
The recently-launched Cisk 0.0 alcohol-free lager has been awarded a gold medal at the prestigious International Brewing Awards 2021 held this week in Burton-upon-Trent in the United Kingdom.
Cisk 0.0 took the gold in the Non & Low Alcohol Beer – Class 1 category and was also named overall trophy winner of the category’s three classes: zero alcohol, low alcohol and ultra-low alcohol.
Farsons’ Cisk Strong – a 9% ABV premium lager – also made the headlines, winning a bronze medal in the Strong Beer – Class 1 – Lager category.
A total of 138 medal and trophy winners from 24 countries received accolades at the awards, with a total of 126 medals and 12 trophies awarded to beers and ciders from all over the world, including Australia, China, Japan, Luxembourg, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the USA and the UK.
The awards are one of the longest-running competitions in the industry and were first held in 1886. Since that first edition, they have had a long history of championing the world’s best brewers and cider-makers.
“Its unique judging process sets it apart from other awards, earning it the reputation as the ‘Oscars of the brewing and cider world’,” Farsons said in a statement.
Ruth Evans MBE, Director of the International Brewing & Cider Awards congratulated Simonds Farsons Cisk plc on its achievement.
“We’re thrilled to be able to provide them with the recognition they so truly deserve,” Evans said.
