Salcombe Brewery Co.’s Island Street Porter and Pilsner Recognised in World Beer Awards

Salcombe Brewery Co. is thrilled to announce that both its Island Street Porter and Pilsner have won a Silver in the recent World Beer Awards in the Taste category.

Head Brewer, Sam Beaman comments: “We’re incredibly proud to have received these awards.  It’s a testament to the hard work and passion our team puts into every brew. These accolades motivate us to continue pushing the boundaries of craft beer while staying true to our roots here in Salcombe.“  

These latest achievements follow hot on the heels of Salcombe Brewery Co. being awarded a 2-star for its Seahorse and a 1-star for its Devon Amber in the 2024 Great Taste Awards. In the past two years alone, Salcombe Brewery Co. has received 30 different medals for the brewery’s range of beers.  

In the 2023 World Beer Awards, Island Street Porter won gold in the porter category and was crowned overall ‘Country Winner’ too, meaning that they judged it to be the best porter in the country.

Island Street Porter (ABV 5.9%, 12 x 330ml cans £27.50) is a carefully crafted, velvety, delicately bitter porter with just a hint of sweetness. Eight different malts combine to suggest dark chocolate, coffee and black cherry, while the aroma pleasingly suggests Black Forest gateau.

Pilsner (ABV 5.4%, 12 x 330ml cans £26) uses the finest British malt and has a delicate floral and herbal aroma, derived from the noble Czech and German hops.  The gentle malt flavour complements the bittersweet palate, culminating in a crisp, dry finish.

The World Beer Awards spotlight the very best internationally recognised beer styles, awarding and promoting the world’s best beers to consumers and trade across the globe.  The Taste categories are based upon the commonly held beer groupings which define the style and process of beer production.  This year, author and beer expert Pete Brown headed up the panel of judges for the Awards.  Pete has written more than 10 books on beer, has been nominated for UK Beer Writer four times, and has judged beer competitions all over the world.
