SIBA WEST BEER COMPETITION 2006

A silver medal for Dursley Steam Bitter in the best bitters category.

"A local brewer has achieved a prestigious award after only one year of trading. Severn Vale Brewing Co. of Cam, Gloucestershire has won a silver medal for Dursley Steam Bitter at the Western region beer competition of SIBA, the Society of Independent Brewers. Head brewer Steve McDonald said "This award means a lot to me, as it was judged by my peers - fellow brewers and brewing industry suppliers." This is the second award that Severn Vale have won this summer. Dursley Steam Bitter was also awarded a silver medal at the Cotswold Beer Festival, organised by Gloucestershire CAMRA at Postlip Hall near Winchcombe in July."
