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."</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9182775334204409016-3746032416139250441?l=severnvaleawards.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Steve McDonaldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02093245125642294604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9182775334204409016.post-15650510046043373982007-07-01T08:09:00.000-07:002007-07-18T08:14:16.099-07:00<div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >Dursley Steam Bitter</span><span style="font-size:85%;"> was runner-up in the 'Gloucestershire Beer of the Year' competition.
