20th July 2012 - Chapel Down Wins a Gold Medal at The International Beer Challenge for Curious Brew Lager
The International Beer Challenge 2012– which has been judging the world’s best beers for the past 16 years – has awarded Chapel Down a gold medal for its Curious Brew premium lager.
The beer makers' 'Oscars' are entered into by the world's largest breweries all the way through to tiny, pioneering microbrewers.
This year, judges tasted over 400 beers before declaring our lager to be worthy of its Gold Medal.
The Challenge deemed only 30 beers, from countries around the world to be of gold medal standard. And there are no other golden pilsner style beers who have won gold. The most popular beer style in the World!
We believe that our success comes down to using only the best quality products and, crucially, bringing wine-making thinking to the beer brewing process.

Chapel Down continues to win awards for our outstanding wines.
