Epic Success At BrewNZ Awards

Epic Brewing Co. has again received top honours at the
2011 BrewNZ Beer Awards. At the awards dinner on
Thursday night, Epic Armageddon IPA won Trophy in the
US Ale Style class, an honour it has received every year
since its launch. Epic also received Silver medals for
their Lager, Pale Ale and Oak-Aged Stout, and Bronzes
for the Barrel-Aged IPA and Stout, showing they are still
the master of hop-fueled beers.

Epic has a history of success at the awards, wowing the
judges with their hoppy creations. In 2006, the first year
Epic submitted entries, Epic Pale Ale won Supreme
Beer, an amazing achievement for a new brewery. Since
then, the Pale Ale has medalled every year, with Epic
Mayhem and Lager also taking top honours, in addition
to the on-going success of Armageddon.

Kelly Ryan, Master of Brewing at Epic Brewing Co,
credits their success with their uncompromising attitude
to flavour. ‘It is essential to never compromise when it
comes to the quality of ingredients in creating massive
flavours,’ he says. 'And it's great to be rewarded for
doing so.'

In light of this recent success, Epic is also happy to
announce that their latest batch of Barrel-Aged IPA will
go on sale this week. Available from bottle stores and
supermarkets around the country, this new batch of
Barrel-Aged IPA has delicate vanilla oak flavours and a
burst of fresh mandarin.
