Derby Brewing drop it like its hop

Derby Brewing Company has won the gold award for one of its new craft-style beers, ‘Drop It Like It’s Hop’ at the SIBA’s Midlands Independent Beer Awards.

The beer ‘Drop It Like It’s Hop’, a 4.5% American Pale Ale, was entered into the category for Premium Bitters and Pale Ales, and beat out stiff competition.

Paul Harris, director of Derby Brewing Company, said: “We’re really pleased that one of our new craft style beers have been recognised by SIBA and to win a Gold award was fantastic. There is a lot of strong competition from other breweries so win gold from all these entries is excellent. SIBA hold regional and national awards every year and they are a great opportunity for breweries to be recognised.”
